Tonight the Rockies send one of their biggest surprise pitchers to the mound tonight, as Tyler Chatwood takes the ball. He is 3-0 on the season over 5 starts with a 2.12 ERA, .266 OBA and 1.28 WHIP. Over his two road starts he is 2-0 and hasn't given up a run in 12 innings of work (@LAD and @SF). Also note he is 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA over 4 night starts. The Reds will have Bronson Arroyo getting the ball in game 1 of this series. He is 5-5 with a 3.75 ERA, .257 OBA and 1.17 WHIP. In his last two starts he hasn't had his best stuff allowing 14 hits and 8 earned runs over 11.2 innings of work. It was also interesting to note that Arroyo has a 1.59 ERA over 4 day games, but is just 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA over 7 night starts. Although Arroyo has 11 starts compared to 5 for Chatwood he has given up 9 homeruns so far this season, while Chatwood hasn't given up one. The Rockies are 4-1 in Chatwood's 5 starts this season while the Reds are 6-5 in Arroyo's 11 starts. Arroyo goes on 4 days rest and the Reds are 1-6 in his last 7 on 4 days rest. I like tonight's pitching match up for Colorado as Chatwood has looked good. Also mix in that the Rockies are 5th in the MLB in team batting average and team OBP and have scored 5+ runs in 4 straight games and I think we have a very live underdog at a good price. Take the Rockies tonight.
