Coors Field is Coors Field. I get that. But in a pitching matchup of Clay Buchholz versus Kyle Freeland with a double-digit total, I have to go Under.
These are two of the most underrated pitchers in the National League, if not all of baseball.
Buchholz has thrived in the National League with the Diamondbacks. He has done far better than expected - and has yet to slow down giving up just three earned runs during his last five starts spanning 34 1/3 innings. He is 7-2 on the season with a 2.01 ERA.
Freeland is 14-7 on the year with a 2.91 ERA. It has not bothered him pitching at Coors Field where he actually has thrived posting a 2.21 home ERA. The lefty is on a string of nine straight starts of allowing three earned runs or fewer. The Under has cashed in 21 of his past 28 starts. Arizona has gone below the total the past six times when facing a southpaw starter.
Weather is not a factor. The scheduled home plate umpire is Chris Conroy. The Under has cashed in 58 percent of his 24 games behind the plate this year.
