35-15 (70%) thru 50 plays to start the season.
ARI @ COL over 11.5 (double play, 2-0 ytd)
Wright is 3-0 'over' at home this year, allowing 22 ER in 15.2 IP. He walked at least 4 batters in 4 out of his last six starts and Arizona is just the kind of team that should take advantage of his control problems at they lead the league in walks so far this season. Webb will face Colorado for the third time this year, and second time at Coors field, and I doubt he will be just as good as he was in previous two starts. You can pitch well once over there, but two times in the same season...that's another story. Just ask Halsey who got hammered on Friday. Webb has a history of good starts vs Colorado early on, as he allowed 4 ER in 21 IP (1.71 ERA) vs the Rockies in his first starts against them in recent years (Colorado scoring 3.66 rpg on average) but he also tends to be less successifull after that, as his ERA goes to 3.79 in his second and 6.51 in third starts vs the Rockies. This year he faced two teams at least twice, and he allowed 3 ER in 16 IP the first time he faced them and 7 ER in 12 IP the second time he faced them. Obviously it takes some time to figure Webb out, but once the teams do that, he is very hittable. Cooper will be the HPU and he is a 55% 'over' ump in last 3+ years and this year he is one of the leaders in terms of 20+ hits games. There were at least 20 hits in 5 of 7 games he umped and if this trend continues, the over should prevail, as Arizona and Colorado have a combined 21-4 'over' record in games with more than 20 hits this season. Finally, both bullpens have been hit pretty hard in HTH meetings this season. In last 6 HTH games, these two bullpens allowed 30 ER (32 total runs) in 29.2 IP, for a 9.10 ERA. The # 3 batting average team and the # 1 walking team, should provide us another high scoring game in #1 ballpark in OPS and runs scored.
More plays tomorrow.
