Colorado has several players who they know are going to get them quality hits every time they swing the bat. Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story can make pitchers itchy with their good patience and with the ability to break a game open. The Miami team has been just awful - and will struggle on the plate. Major advantage to Colorado in the game - with their longball batting.



Miami will not be able to replicate even their 7 run scoring game here, they had vs San Fran on 6.11.18 Their guys get lazy at times in the field, and have been producing nothing on the bump as a team, with 26th ranked pitching staff. Miami will struggle to stop the Colorado bats at the plate with erratic pitching, that has problems with control. Colorado is still in the race for 2nd place in the division.


Marlins are 4-12 in their last 16 road games vs. a left-handed starter.


Colorado wins again here on Saturday.
