High total for a game, but these two teams mash the LHP...We get two on the hill for each team tonight...Rocks are #1 and D-Backs are #4 vs the LHP...Another reason why I like this over is because it's the first game of the series...Visiting teams love that first game in Colorado becuase they expect to get big hits extra bases and HR's....So the D-Backs should be swinging for the fences tonight..Rockies will know that and this is a division game so I expect the Rockies to be ready for a brawl here...I don't see either starter getting past the 5th inning tonight..Bullpens for both teams are as night and day as it gets..AZ is the best bullpen ERA wise and the Rockies almost the worst...I see a back and forth game tonight..I don't think the D-Backs bullpen can or will throw a shutout..They should give up a couple too...7-6 or 8-6 game.
Phil/Mets OVER 9...The bullpens will be thin as can be after a double header yesterday..They will be asking these guys who are very inexperienced to go long..Wont happen..We get enough for this one. 1*
