This is a 10* on OVER

It was a pretty misleading final score last night at Coors Field. The Cardinals won 9-3, but scored six runs in the top of the 10th. Still, while the game ended up higher scoring than what it “should have been” (still went Under), this is Coors Field and plenty of runs should always be expected. The Rockies, as is usually the case every year, lead all teams in runs per game at home. This year, the number is 5.8 runs/game. You can count on Colorado scoring more tonight than they did Friday as they will face Wade LeBlanc, who has made two less than impressive starts for St. Louis. The Rockies’ last six games have all gone Under, which is atypical, especially since the last five have all taken place at home. But they’re not facing the Pirates anymore (who they swept in the last series and shutout twice). The Cardinals should put up runs here against Kyle Freeland, who has a 6.54 ERA and 1.80 WHIP. While Freeland has allowed just one run total in his last two starts, those were against Pittsburgh and Seattle, perhaps the two weakest offenses in MLB. After a string of low-scoring games here, expect the typical Coors Field affair on Saturday night. Play on OVER
