The matchup has the makings of a low scoring game here with two top pitchers squaring off, but the fact is Matt Cain has produced a higher ERA at home than on the road for the season. The combined ERA of these two pitchers vs the respective clubs they will face here has been nine this season. DeLaRosa 5.40 vs the Giants, and Cain 3.60 vs the Rockies certainly leaves wiggle room on the over. Factor in the Rockies playing 7-2 to the over vs a winning team in their last nine and a perfect 5-0 after a loss. Giants respectively at 6-0 to the over after a loss and, with Cain on the hill, 5-1 when he gets the ball after a Giant loss to the over. Might look like a pitcher's duel, but lots of indications to the contrary. I'll go with the OVER here.
