Contrarian Crusher - Rickenbach MLB Rotation #921 Tuesday 10* Top Play OVER the total in Colorado Rockies vs San Francisco Giants @ 8:40 ET - Being a contrarian is a key to long-term success in this industry. The odds makers are pretty sharp so when you see a line move dramatically from an opener it pays to pay attention. This is one of those cases where everything lines up and I love fading the line move. This total opened up at a 13 and has moved all the way down to an 11.5 in morning trading activity. Of course that is because German Marquez has had two great starts to open up the season and the fact is that he is a very good pitcher for sure. But he pitches his home games at Coors Field! Lets not forget that! His first two starts were on the road. Last season at home he got hit at a .317 clip and had a 6.26 ERA. The prior season Marquez had a 4.74 ERA and got hit at a .284 clip. In other words, it is no fluke as his numbers each of the past two seasons reflect the strong home/road dichotomy that so many Rockies pitchers have. Making things now even tougher on pitchers at Coors Field is that they have to also face a designated hitter now instead of a pitcher at the plate. Now lets talk about Giants starter Kevin Gausman. The veteran right-hander is off a 3-9 season that saw him compile a 5.72 ERA. In his first two appearances as a Giant (one start) he has been rocked at a .343 clip by opposing hitters. Now he'll get to enjoy Coors Field on top of all this! In other words, this one likely to get ugly in a hurry as both lineups enjoy big days! 10* OVER the total in Colorado
