Probable Pitcher:
Kyle Freeland (1-4, 4.60 ERA) will start for the Rockies in the 4th game of the series.

Joan Adon, who had lost six straight starts, allowed two unearned runs on six hits over six innings..
Probable Pitcher:
Josiah Gray (4-4, 5.44 ERA) will start for the Nats in the 4th game of the series. Gray (4-4) took the loss Tuesday as the Nationals were downed 9-4 by the Dodgers, surrendering seven runs on five hits -- including three home runs -- and three walks over three innings. In his last 3 starts against the Rockies he has a 6.33 ERA across 14.2 innings.
BETTING TRENDS
Colorado are 5-14 SU in their last 19 games.
Colorado are 3-13 SU in their last 16 games on the road.
The total has gone OVER in 5 of Washington's last 7 games against Colorado.
Washington are 5-15 SU in their last 20 games at home.
Prediction
The Rockies have atruggled on the road as they have lost 14 of 23 games away. They'll send Kyle Freeland to the mound and he has dominated the Nats in his last 3 starts. The Nationals haven't been goos at home as they're winning only the 30% of the time. Gray got pounded in his last start allowing 7 runs so expect the Rockies to get some runs early in the game. Take the Rockies.
