The Colorado Rockies have been swinging hot bats in recent games, coming off back-to-back 11 run performances against Milwaukee.

I think the Rockies will keep their scoring touch when taking on NL West rival Arizona Diamondbacks and Robbie Ray Friday night. Note that Ray (1-1, 4.18 ERA) owns a 5.77 ERA in 12 career starts against Colorado and the current Rockies roster is batting a combined .353 over 136 at-bats against the left-hander.

Tyler Anderson (0-2, 11.34 ERA) will toe the slab for the Rockies. The left-hander has had a terrible start to the season and served up three homers in 4 2/3 innings of an 8-7 Rockies loss at Atlanta last time out. He has allowed more than five runs in each of his first four starts on the season and owns a 5.77 ERA in eight career outings (six starts) vs. the D'Backs.

Over is 6-2-1 in Ray's last 9 starts vs. Rockies. Over is 4-1-2 in Diamondbacks last 7 games vs. a left-handed starter. Over is 8-2-1 in Andersons last 11 starts vs. a team with a winning record.

8* play on OVER.
