ARIZONA @ COLORADO (ARI -175, 12)

OVER 12

Tonight's total is a big one and it has been moving back and forth between 12 and 12.5. Rightfully so as tonight's game is in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field. It's also a pitching matchup that lends itself to lots of runs.

Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez and Colorado's Bradley Blalock just faced off against each other last week. Both pitchers gave up 5 earned runs. Arizona ended up winning the game 6-5. Both pitchers also have ERAs north of 5.00.

Rodriguez is 4-7 with a 5.68 ERA. He's allowed 5 or more earned runs in 2 of his last 3 starts. Blalock is 1-3 with a 7.89 ERA. He has allowed 12 earned runs over his last two starts. Both pitchers have expected numbers that don't inspire much confidence.

Arizona has been on a roll as of late too. The Diamondbacks have won 5 of their last 6 games. In the 5 victories, Arizona scored at least 6 runs in all five games. Colorado has given up an average of 6.45 runs per game to its opponents this season. Over their last 10 games, the Rockies have allowed 87 runs.

Not surprisingly, 9 of the last 12 Rockies games have gone Over the total. The Over has cashed in 4 of Arizona's last 5 games. Expect plenty of runs tonight with two awful bullpens.
