The second 8* play in our DOUBLE DOG DESTRUCTION pass is on the Colorado Rockies.
There will likely be a lot of handicappers backing Zack Greinke and the Diamondbacks in this one, but we think the value is on the visiting side. Colorado comes in confident after romping Arizona 9-0 in the opener of this three-game set. Greinke (2-2, 6.16 ERA) lost to the Rockies 10-5 on Opening Day, getting pulled after four innings, giving up seven runs, including three homers. Greinke is a mess, he owns the fourth-highest qualifying ERA in the NL and has posted a deplorable 9.72 ERA while losing two of three starts in Arizona. He's coming off a 12-7 win over the Cardinals on Monday, but was shelled for seven runs and 11 hits in 6 2/3's innings. The visitors counter with Chris Rusin (1-0, 2.45), who has thrown 9 2/3's scoreless innings over his last three outings. Rusin has done well in the desert as well, going 2-1 with a tiny 2.25 ERA in three starts vs. the Diamondbacks in Arizona. Is Greinke "due" to bounce back? Maybe. But maybe not. Until he proves himself, there's no way he should have been instilled as such a large favorite here. Recent performance is a good indicator when trying to judge starting pitching and in our opinion, Rusin gets the big nod on the mound tonight. The Rockies are also crushing the ball at an alarming rate, all signs do indeed point to an upset, play on COLORADO.
