COLORADO ROCKIES -145 - This is simply a case of a team that has been great at home taking on a team that has struggled on the road. In fact, the Rockies have now won 8 consecutive games at Coors Field, improving to an amazing 24-8, 75.0% here this season! They have outscored their opponents by nearly 2 runs per game at home, averaging 6.84 runs for while allowing 4.88 runs against. Cook may be a weak link in the Colorado rotation, but he has surprisingly recorded 3 Quality Starts in his last 4 home starts. Looking at those efforts, if you throw out his one stinker vs. Cincinnati, Cook has a 2.11 ERA with an excellent 1.13 ratio in the other 3 outings. Wilson will be making just his 3rd start of the season, and his last start at sea level was nothing special as he allowed 4 earned runs on 7 hits in 6.1 innings. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to his first start ever at this altitude.
