The Rockies bats have been on fire and now they go to play the Dbacks who have lost 12 of their last 15 games overall. That's not why I like the Rockies so much its more about the pitching match up.
Jore De La Rosa has been great he had a bad outing in his last start but still went 7 IP. His previous 9 starts all were 3 ER or less he is consistent and when you pitch for the Rockies you'll get wins that way and that's the reason why the Rockies are 23-4 in his last 27 starts as a favorite. This will move to 24-4 after Tuesday's start as the Rockies remain in contention for the playoffs. Next is they face Joe Saunders who they recently knocked out of the game in the third inning. They have 99 AB vs. Saunders and a .313 average with a .853 ops. Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez are as dangerous as any combination in the National League. Tulowitski has 14 HR and a .351 average this month.
More on De La Rosa in his last 6 game starts vs. the Dbacks he has only surrendered 24 hits in 38.2 IP and 7 ER for a 1.67 ERA. Dbacks just a .229 avg and .671 OPS in 109 AB vs. De La Rosa. Arizona just .221 average and 3.06 runs per 9 vs. LHP in their last 10, but more importantly a 6.33 bullpen ERA which is extremely troublesome against the Rockies.
