He has a record of 2-2 with an ERA of 3.14 and 10 strikeouts in 5 appearances versus the Rockies in his career.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of St. Louis' last 15 games on the road.
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of St. Louis' last 9 games when playing on the road against Colorado.
Colorado are 3-8 SU in their last 11 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Colorado's last 7 games against St. Louis.
Prediction
The Rockies have lost 7 of their last 10 games but they still have a decent 31-27 record at home while the Cardinals are 25-29 on the road. German Marquez will take the mound for the Rockies on this game who hasn't been that bad lately but the Rockies have lost in his last 3 starts. The Cardinals have been playing great offense and will try to win this series by sending Dakota Hudson to start who has been up and down this season and the Cardinals have lost in 4 of his last 5 starts. The Rockies play good at home but the Cardinals are the better team overall and the offense is on fire. I'll go with the Cards.
