Money Line: -102.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -102.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 10* play on the Colorado Rockies.
The Tampa Bay Rays have struggled at the plate all year long but erupted for 10 runs in Tuesday's blowout victory here at Coors Field. The Colorado Rockies will be extremely disappointed with their performance in that game, but they're looking good to rebound with their ace on the hill Wednesday afternoon.
Jorge De La Rosa (6-6, 5.50) will toe the slab for the Rockies. The left-hander has yielded only one run in his last 15 frames at Coors Field where he's 4-2 with a 4.41 ERA for the season. De La Rosa has excelled in day games with a 3-0 record and a 1.93 ERA in four outings (two starts).
The Rays hand the ball to Chris Archer (4-13, 4.68 ERA). This would normally be considered an "ace off", but Archer has been very poor this season, particularly on the road where the 27 year old has posted a 3-6 record behind a 6.75 ERA. Archer is 0-4 with a 4.83 ERA in six afternoon starts.
Tampa Bay ranks dead last in the American League for both batting average and runs scored. It has lost each of Archer's last seven starts while providing him with a total of just 16 runs of support during that stretch.
Take COL.
