Stanton and the Fish Attempt to Spoil Rockies’ Postseason Hopes

At this point, it looks like the Rockies are going to stumble into the playoffs. No one behind them seems to want to win a game and despite a 2-6 straight-up run, they still hold a 1.5-game lead in the NL wild-card race. They’ll attempt to rebound from a loss in their opener against the Marlins last night and they’ll send Tyler Anderson (5-6, 5.24 ERA) to the bump for a meeting with Jose Urena (14-6, 3.55 ERA).

SHARK BITES
  • The Marlins are 5-0 SU and on the runline in their last 5 games against the Rockies.
  • The total has gone UNDER in 7 of the Rockies’ last 8 games.
  • The total has gone OVER in 7 of the Marlins’ last 9 games against left-handed starting pitchers.

While that pitching matchup probably doesn’t inspire barrels of confidence for the Rockies, they should take some solace in the fact that they got to Urena in their only game against him this season and that the DR native has made just one start in the elevated conditions of Coors Field.

Tyler Anderson is one of the weirdos who actually pitches better at Coors. When he last threw a game at home, he tossed six innings of shutout baseball against the Padres. The lefty has, however, had very little experience against Marlins bats and he could fall victim to right-hander Giancarlo Stanton.

If Gio gets hold of a ball tonight, you can kiss it goodbye. He’s yet to hit one out at Coors this season but he does have 10 career bombs at the park in just 84 at-bats. Getting Stanton to 60 is basically the only motivation left for the Marlins so expect Big-D Sanchez to be swinging for the fence all night long.
