Both of these starting pitchers have been on fire lately posting ERA's at 3 and UNDER.
This is a critical game one in this series between these two teams that sit a top of the NL West. Tonight's Colorado starter Freeland throws and over 60% of his outs are by way of the ground ball. It's extremely difficult to hit his sinker pitch. The grounders also translate into fewer home runs and Double-play opportunities. He has allowed two runs or fewer in eight of his starts and has made a quality start in 10 of 14 showing why he is the ace of the staff. The Colorado bats have also cooled off and I think we have a very strong play on the UNDER here tonight.
