Jorge De La Rosa is getting a lot of value here and I'm buying he's really this teams #2 starter if you ask me and he's been injured, but now coming back strong with a 3.20 ERA in his last three starts. He had a 7 IP 2 ER performance at the end of July against the Pirates to get this going and now he'll come back again vs. the Pirates who have a .202 average in their last 10 vs. LHP.

Rockies are 42-17 in their last 55 vs. the NL Central and are 21-6 in De La Rosa's last 27 vs. a losing team. Pirates throw Ohlendorf out there who has pitched decent, but has a 1-9 record and in 2009 he made 2 starts against the Rockies and neither of them went well as he threw for 11 IP and gave up 9 ER on 15 hits. Look for the Rockies who have a .308 average in their last 10 games with 5.49 runs per 9 vs. RHP to get it done again here today. Pit is just 17-37 in their last 54 vs. NL West.
