Miami Marlins vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
Adam Conley has pitched well overall in his second season and he has pitched adequately on the road with a 3-3 W/L record and 3.92 earned average. However, he hasn’t pitched in Colorado where many pitchers struggle and the Rockies are one of the better hitting clubs against left handed pitching. Jon Gray gets the ball for the home club. Gray has yet to take a loss at home going 5-0 with a 4.00 ERA. He took on the Marlins in Florida back in June and got saddled with a loss, but pitched well allowing two earned runs over six innings. It’s a big number today, but I’ll lay it on the Rockies who have a big edge in form and on the mound.
