The Colorado Rockies will meet for the second time this season the Philadelphia Phillies in a 4-game series at the Citizens Bank Park. The Rockies won the last series 2-1 at Colorado.

Chad Kuhl leads the pitching staff with 2 wins recorded and a 1.10 ERA and 13 strikeouts.
Probable Pitcher:
Kyle Freeland (0-2, 7.71 ERA) will start for the Rockies in the 1st game of the series. Freeland struck out three in five innings, allowing two runs on six hits, a walk and a hit batsman in a 6-5 win Tuesday against Philadelphia. He did not factor into the decision. He pitched 2 games against the Phillies and had a 4.90 ERA and struckout 6.

Probable Pitcher:
Kyle Gibson (1-1, 3.57 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in the 1st game of the series. Gibson allowed 3 runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three in six innings in a 6-5 loss Tuesday in Colorado. He did not factor into the decision.
BETTING TRENDS
Colorado are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games.
Colorado are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia are 3-9 SU in their last 12 games.
Philadelphia are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games at home.
Prediction
The Rockies have lost only one game on the road so far this season and they're 6-2 last 8 games vs Phillies. On the other hand the Phillies have lost 4 of their last 5 games at home. Last time these two pitchers met the Rockies won 6-5 and with both teams allowing more than 4 goals per game I think the best play is the over.
PICK: Over 8.5 (-110)
