Contrarian Crusher - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #957 Sunday 10* Top Play OVER 11.5 runs in Colorado Rockies vs Arizona Diamondbacks @ 3:10 ET - This is a contrarian play based on the fact that we are going over a big number even though Taylor Widener has a 2.82 ERA and Jon Gray has a 3.48 ERA. Big key here is the weather at hitter friendly Coors Field. A day game here with mild temperatures and the wind blowing out means that the ball is going to carry very very well in this one! Also, the Diamondbacks Widener is making his first start in a month and coming back from a groin strain injury. The Rockies Gray is coming off a rough outing against the Padres in which he allowed 7 runs (5 earned) on 10 hits in less than 6 innings of work. Also, this will be the 3rd time Gray has faced Arizona and they got to him for 10 hits in 6 innings in the 2nd go around so the 3rd time is certainly unlikely to go very well for the Colorado right-hander. As for Widener, he has never pitched at Coors Field and that includes his 12 appearances as a reliever last season. Young hurlers making first ever appearances at Denver's hitter-friendly venue are known for encountering struggles. More of the same here. Just 1 under in the Rockies last 6 home games and yesterday's game totaled 13 runs. I expect at least that many again today. 10* OVER 11.5 runs in Colorado
