#951/952 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9 Runs – Colorado Rockies @ Chicago Cubs, Friday at 2:20 PM ET - The Rockies are expected to start Noah Davis but whether he starts or whatever opener Colorado uses, we are not overly concerned with the pitching match-up here and will go action on pitchers.  That's because the Rockies bullpen has been one of the worst in the league this season and the Cubs bullpen has also had some recent struggles.  As for Davis, he has a 9.97 ERA in his 7 MLB appearances (4 starts) in his young career.  The Cubs are expected to go with Jameson Taillon as their starter here.  He is 1-7 with a 6.86 ERA in his day game appearances this season.  Day games at Wrigley Field, even when the wind is more side to side rather than blowing out, do tend to be higher scoring and we like the pattern for the Cubs entering this one as well.  Coming off an 8-6 loss to the Pirates yesterday, Chicago is mired in a 1-7 slump but 7 of the 8 games have totaled at least 10 runs!  The Cubs are 2-2 last 4 home games and have averaged scoring 8 runs in that stretch.   However, Chicago also has allowed an average of 7 runs per game over the last 8 games.  The Rockies bats struggled some in their recent series at San Diego but that park is not exactly the most hitter-friendly in the league and the Padres have some tough pitchers.  Before a quiet final two games in that series, the Rockies had scored an average of 7 runs in a solid 5-2 stretch over their 7 games before the two duds.  Look for their bats to wake up again after yesterday's off-day and now playing in a hitter-friendly venue!  Our computer math models are expecting this one to finish with double digits in runs in most projections. Over is the call in this early afternoon match-up Friday.
