The Yankees and Rockies just met in Colorado last week and Ivan Nova faced Chad Bettis in one of those games. The fact these guys just faced each other (and Nova got hit particularly hard) means that the lineups are very familiar with the offerings they are going to see in the rematch. That's bad news for both hurlers because Nova has a 6.30 ERA in his last five starts and the 5 earned runs he allowed at Colorado last week marked the 2nd time in his last three starts that he has allowed 5 earned runs. The Rockies Chad Bettis has also been struggling and the Rockies right-hander has a 6.43 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP in his last three starts. In games with a posted total of 9 or 9.5 runs, the over is 4-0 this season in Colorado games and 33-20 the past three seasons combined. The over is 4-1 in Rockies inter-league games this season. Look for the Yankees to go over the total for a 4th straight game here after their weekend series with the Twins wrapped up with three straight overs. Look for the ball to be flying tonight as the Rockies are 3rd in the league in runs scored. PLAY THE OVER!
