This is an 8* play OVER Baltimore-Colorado

It almost seems unfair to stick this terrible Orioles pitching staff in Coors Field. No staff has given up more runs per game (6.1) than Baltimore's and Coors is once again shaping up to be the highest scoring venue in either league. The Rockies are tied for the MLB lead, averaging 6.0 runs/game at home. But they are also dead last in runs allowed at home, giving up 7.0/game. One of the more culpable starters on the Orioles staff has been David Hess, who goes today. Hess has 7.06 ERA in eight starts (6-2 Over) and just allowed nine runs total and three home runs the last time he pitched. We like Rockies starter German Marquez, but even he is not immune to the "Coors effect." He has a 5.34 ERA and 1.67 WHIP at home, which is way up from his numbers on the road (2.08, 0.74). Baltimore's last six games have all gone Over and before that they gave up 10 runs in a shutout loss. It figures to be another very high scoring affair today in Denver where the Over is 10-1 the last 11 games. Play Over Baltimore-Colorado
