(MLB) Pittsburgh vs. Colorado,
Total: 12.00 | -104.00 Under
Result: Win
Coors Field is known for very light air and the ball should be carrying extremely well here on Thursday afternoon. Warm temperatures, light winds, dry air, clear skies, it is sets up to be a hitters day in Colorado today. I realize 11.5 is a big number but don't let that scare you away as the oddsmakers set it high for a reason. There should be scoring early and often in a situation like this.Pirates starter Jeff Locke, who had a solid start at Colorado earlier this season but that was on a cool evening in April. Conditions will be much different today and Locke allowed 10 earned runs on 18 hits in 12 and 1/3 innings in his two prior starts at Colorado. The over is an incredible 9-2 in Locke's 11 starts this season. He'll be opposed by Chad Bettis and he is 0-3 with an 11.47 ERA and a 2.40 WHIP in his last 3 starts as he's been getting absolutely rocked in recent outings. Look for plenty of runs to be scored and the OVER to be the play here on Thursday afternoon.
