The Rockies have played like one of the best teams in the league this year but are coming off two straight losses. I think they get back in the win column here behind Tyler Chatwood, who has been outstanding away from Coors. The Pirates have a winning record at home but have been outscored by 36 runs in 32 home games, so their underlying skill level doesn't match that win-loss figure. Pirates starter Gerrit Cole has struggled in four straight starts; I don't expect him to turn it around against this offense.
I've mentioned several times that Tyler Chatwood is far better on the road than he is in Coors Field. He allows batters to hit .301 in Coors and just .171 away. Gerrit Cole has been lit up over his last four starts, but I'm going to look at the bigger picture: a 3.19 ERA at home from 2014-2016. Go Under.
No time for a writeup, but I'm on Tyler Chatwood and the Rockies on Tuesday.
