After a rough run, Colorado has come on strong lately - winning 4 in a row coming into tonight! The Rockies have not only won their last 4, they have done it rather convincingly, outscoring their opposition 33-9 along the way. As for San Diego, the Padres have now dropped 5 of their last 6 games, and they have also dropped 8 of their last 10 games played at Coors Field. Eric Stults has lost his way in the second half, going 0-3 in his 4 starts with an ERA over 7. This does not look well for the Padres against a Colorado team that has been locked-in at the plate in Denver. Jeff Manship will make his second straight start filling in for the injured Tyler Chatwood, and even though he lost his first start, he did acquit himself well, allowing only 2 runs in his 5 innings pitched. The way the Rockies have been using the home field to their advantage, and their hot bats, I really like Colorado here at home.
