Result: Win
#901/902 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9 Runs – Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies, Tuesday at 7:05 PM ET - Both these pitchers have struggled often this season. Expected starters are Trevor Williams for the Nationals and Austin Gomber for the Rockies. We like the over here regardless of the starting pitchers as the Rockies have won 6 of 9 games since the all-star break and have scored 5 runs per game in those 9 contests. Colorado got the 10-6 win here at Washington yesterday and the Nationals have gone 7-5 last dozen games and averaged scoring 6 runs per game in those 12 games. Both bullpens have had struggles this season and that was the case for both clubs again yesterday!  After ugly performances in the late innings from each pen yesterday, take a look at their updated numbers here.  The Rockies 4.65 bullpen ERA and Nationals 5.50 bullpen ERA ranks them as the bottom two bullpens in the National League this season!  As for those expected starters, Williams has allowed 29 hits and 13 earned runs in 22.2 innings over his last five starts.  Gomber has a 6.18 ERA this season.  He faced the Nationals once this season and allowed 5 earned runs in under 5 innings of work.  We know what you are thinking...that was at Coors Field so it deserves an asterisk next to the performance.  However, the last time he faced the Nats in DC was in late May of last season and he allowed 8 earned runs on 7 hits and 3 walks in a start that lasted only 1.1 innings!  The total on this game is relatively low considering the way these two lineups have been producing as we noted above.  We are going to challenge these starters and these bullpens to turn things around here. Over is the call this evening in our nation's capital.
