Free MLB Pick
The run line has been set at 11 and we feel that it may still be too low. These two have played five games this season with five of the six games going over the closing total line. Arizona starter Chase Anderson has subpar historical numbers against the Rockies lineup and he wasn’t sharp in his home start versus them this earlier this season when he got tagged with 5 runs in 5 1/3 innings. Colorado starter Kyle Kendrick’s stats are even less impressive with the Diamondback roster hitting a lifetime .333 against him. He faced them on the road this season were he was lit up for 8 runs in 4 1/3 innings.
