Aaron Cook for the Colorado Rockies and Matt Palmer of the Los Angeles Angels are both in fine form right now, so we do not see the combined total output of this contest coming near double-digits.

Cook is the Colorado ace, but he was off to a slow start this season. However, has now appear to have recaptured his All-Star form of last season, as he has reeled off three consecutive Quality Starts while allowing a total of only five runs in 21 innings. Cook has one of the bets groundball-to-flyball ratios in baseball at 2.47, and his sinker has gotten progressively better as the season has gone on.

Now we are still a tad skeptical about Palmer, as we do not feel his 6-0 record is a true representation of his ability, but we must admit that he too has gotten better with every start. We felt he was lucky early on as he put too many men on base, but he now has a 2.79 ERA with a much more respectable 1.29 WHIP in his last three starts. He also enjoys pitching in the smog of Anaheim, where he owns a 3.41 ERA this season.

Finally, the Under is 19-7-1 in the last 27 Colorado interleague games and this pitching matchup indicated that this pattern should continue tonight.
