Rickenbach MLB *10* Top Play OVER 10.5 runs in Colorado vs Arizona @ 8:40 ET - Colorado's game stayed under the total yesterday but the Rockies were in Pittsburgh. They are now back home where the ball carries well and the totals have a strong tendency to fly over the total in warm weather at this time of year. Looking for that to happen again on Monday with the Diamondbacks coming to town. Arizona lost 7-4 yesterday and that over means that they have recorded just 3 unders in their last 11 games. With the pitching match-up for tonight's game, that type of trending should continue here. The Diamondbacks send Robbie Ray to the mound. The southpaw is 0-3 in his last 3 starts with an 8.10 ERA and a ridiculous 2.18 WHIP during that time. The left-hander has produced some good overall numbers on the road this season but his current form outweighs that and two of his last three starts (producing overall ugly numbers as shown above) have come away from Arizona. Pitching in Colorado is never desirable and Ray's successful start here earlier this season will be a distant memory after he gets pounded at hitter-friendly Coors tonight. His current form dictates plenty of success for the Rockies at the plate. Colorado sends Chad Bettis to the mound tonight. He's making his first start at home since July 12th and Bettis has not fared well here. The Rockies right-hander has compiled a 5.18 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP in his home starts this season and those games have gone 5-2 to the over this year. Colorado is 30-17 to the over in divisional games this season and, it's a quirky stat but it's a fact: the Rockies are 11-3 to the over on Mondays this season. Coincidentally, the Diamonbacks games also enjoy extra fireworks on Mondays with a 9-4 mark to the over this season. Playing an afternoon game the day before can help to insure more rest the night before and the hitters certainly will be primed and pumped to face some "questionable" starting pitchers at a hitter-friendly venue tonight. Play OVER 10.5 runs in Colorado as a *10* Top Play Monday.
