I look for the Rockies to stay hot here against Oakland and complete the sweep to move to 22-7 under manager Jim Tracy.

Aaron Cook who has been lights out in June 4-0 with a 1.93ERA in his last 4 starts should have the edge going up against the rookie from Oakland Vin Mazzaro. The majority of the A's lineup has never faced Cook which points to advantage Cook. Oakland has not hit well to begin with they are hitting just .226 and scoring 3.97 R/9 in their last 10 games vs. RHP.

Vin Mazzaro who started the year with some great starts and his ERA on the surface still looks great at 2.56. However, I see him struggling as of late giving up 4ER in his last outing to the Giants who aren't hitting like the Rockies are. The Rockies are hitting .351 8.58R/9 last 5 and .322avg 7.18 R/9 last 10 vs. RHP. Mazzaro is likely going to go through a few starts where hitters are making adjustments because there is a scouting report against him. This happens over and over in the MLB and people wonder why a young pitcher goes through struggles. I think that happens here today and I think the Rockies will get the sweep.
