The Rockies look like they may have a healthy line up tonight with Carlos Gonzalez getting in the game last night and Dexter Fowler rejoining the line up yesterday, but it's not like they need it against Edinson Volquez. The Rockies will score runs her as he has a 12.46 ERA in his last 6 starts vs. the Rockies and Dodgers bullpen has a 5.03 ERA in their last 3 appearances each combined so I"m expecting Volquez to struggle a bit int his spot especially since Gonzalez is 10-19 against him and the Rockies collectively have a 1.078 OPS in 150 AB. Volquez has a career 8.39 ERA at Coors over 7 starts and he walks nearly 5 guys per 9 which won't get you out of the rocky mountains alive. Meanwhile Jorge De La Rosa has been Mr. consistent especially at home.

De La Rosa posts a 2.74 ERA at home and I think we are getting him at a cheap price here. He's struggled vs. the Dodgers in certain games but has always pitched better at home and Don Mattingly has been resting hitters. I expect he'll get a lighter line up again tonight and I think he'll have a quality start and get the win.
