This is an 8* TOTAL on the OVER Cubs/Rockies.

We had a play on the OVER in Chicago's 5-2 win here yesterday, and while that play did fail to deliver, we're definitely expecting a lot of runs finally here today on Friday, so we're back in the saddle for this selection.

Both Marcus Stroman (0-0, 1.80 ERA) and German Marquez (0-0, 1.29) are coming off great debuts, but we'll expect a bit of regression here considering the venue.

Stroman's actually had unreal success at Coors Field throughout his career, as he's 2-1 with a 1.64 ERA in three outings there.

That sample size is small, and also really unrealistic to maintain our estimation.

Marquez has also struggled against the Cubs throughout his career, going just 1-2 with a ballooned 7.53 ERA over six starts against.

Look for these starters to get chased early and expect this total to fly OVER the number sooner, rather than later.

Good luck, NP
