#905/906 ASA PLAY ON 8* Over 12 Runs – Cincinnati Reds @ Colorado Rockies, Tuesday at 8:40 PM ET - Expected starters are Brandon Williamson for the Reds and Chase Anderson for the Rockies. We like the over here regardless of the starting pitchers as some overall metrics are pointing to the over here plus the bullpens help the cause. Taking a look at WHIP, the Reds bullpen is ranked 19th out of 30 teams and the Rockies bullpen is ranked 24th so far this season. The weather will be mild in Denver this evening and the ball should be carrying very well in the thin air as per usual. The big total might seem a little scary but set-ups don't get much better than this. Williamson is a rookie and he was 2-4 with a 6.62 ERA and .310 batting average against in the minors at the AAA level before being called up for this start. This start is highly unlikely to go well here. Pitchers are known for struggling in their first-ever starts here more often than not. This is not only Williamson's first ever start at Coors Field, it is first ever start in the majors! Not a good situation for him. As for Anderson, the veteran right-hander was claimed by the Rockies after being put on waivers by the Rays. Anderson has a 6.38 ERA or higher in each of his last three seasons. He most recently pitched at Coors Field as a member of the Phillies a few years ago and he allowed 6 earned runs in under 4 innings! Cincinnati has scored at least 5 runs in 4 of their last 5 games including scoring 8 at Coors Field in yesterday's series-opening 9-8 loss. The Rockies have averaged scoring 6.4 runs per game in their 8 home games dating back to the end of April. Anderson has not even made a start yet this season and Willamson is making his MLB debut and there were 17 runs scored yesterday and nice hitting weather expected again in this one tonight. Look for another slugfest. Over is the call in this one Tuesday night.
