This is a 10* AFTERNOON TOP TOTAL on the OVER Rockies/Brewers.

The Rockies broke a three-game slide with a 5-2 win at Seattle last night. Colorado has seen the total go UNDER in two straight, but I believe the shift in venue today is going to lead to more of a high-scoring game for the visiting side today.

Milwaukee is off back-to-back victories, albeit over Arizona and it's now won four of its last five. It's seen the total go UNDER in three straight, after having seen it go OVER in three straight (note that the Brewers have seen the total go OVER the number in seven of their last ten after playing to three or more straight UNDERS in a row.)

Jon Gray returns to the Colorado line-up after a ten-day IL stint. He's 4-6 with a 4.29 ERA. He threw a re-hab start last week and has been given the green light. Expect Gray to be on a short-leash and note that he's 0-4 with a 6.92 ERA on the road this season.

He'll be opposed by Milwaukee's Corbin Burnes (3-4, 2.62) who has been a bright spot in this Brewers rotation this season, but who comes in off his worst start of the year, allowing four runs off eight hits over five innings in a loss to these very Rockies last Friday.

Burnes is definitely coming back down to Earth after his improbable start, having conceded eight runs over his last 9.1 innings of work.

Look for this one to sneak OVER this tiny number.

Good luck, NP
