Over 28.2 innings, Mahle has an 8.79 ERA and a .342 allowed batting average. At home through 21.1 innings, Gordon has a 9.70 ERA and a .372 allowed batting average. Gordon has allowed 15 hits and 9 earned runs in his last 8 innings. Coors, two pitchers in awful form. Expect a lot of offense. Give me the over.
