ROCKIES/ASTROS Under 8.5 -110 - Now I don?t usually like playing an Under with such a relatively low total in this ballpark, but this looks like a notable exception. Miller is quite simply in unconscious form right now, going 9-0 with 3 No-Decisions in his last 12 starts and not allowing more than 3 earned runs in ANY of them! He has a 2.09 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP over those last 12 starts. He also pitched extremely well the last time he faced the Rockies here, allowing just 2 runs and 4 hits in 7 innings. The Astros bullpen has also done a very good job, with a group ERA of 3.89, which helps explain why the Under is 37-33 this season in this hitter?s paradise. Not that he needs it, but Miller figures to get some help from a Colorado offense that has an anemic team batting average of .229 away from Coors Field. Neagle is also in fine form right now, with 6 Quality Starts in his last 7 starts, pitching to a 1.93 ERA in those 7 starts despite 3 of them coming at Coors. The Under is 5-1-1 in Neagle?s last 7 starts, and 7-3 in the Rockies? last 10 games as a team.
