The St. Louis Cardinals and Colorado Rockies face off on Thursday in an MLB showdown at Coors Field. The Rockies were able to win in a blowout in the first game, but in Game two it was the Cardinals that won in a blowout. 

The Rockies come into this game with a 49-64 and they have lost two games in a row. In the one win, the Rockies scored 16 runs, and they are going to need the offense to be good in this game. Overall this season the Rockies offense has been pretty good and they are averaging 4.55 runs per game. C.J. Cron is having a big season hitting 23 home runs and driving in 80 RBIs. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Cardinals who sit with a 61-49 record overall and they have won eight of their last nine games. In the last two games, the Cardinals offense has been strong, and that’s what they will want to lean on again in this game. The Cardinals have had a strong offense and strong pitching most of the season. They are giving up only 4.01 runs per game. Nolan Arenado has hit 23 home runs and driven in 71 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Cardinals is Dakota Hudson and he sits with a 6-6 record and an ERA of 4.20. In his last start against the Yankees, he went four innings giving up seven hits and three runs. 

On the mound for the Rockies is German Marquez who sits with a 6-9 record and an ERA of 5.18. In his last start against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he went six innings giving up four hits and two runs. 

The Cardinals are 8-1 in their last nine games overall. The Cardinals are 1-7 in Hudson’s last eight road starts. The under is 6-1-1 in Marquez’s last eight starts against a team with a winning record. 

The Cardinals offense has had a ton of success heading into this game, and they are going to continue the success here. Marquez sits with an ERA of 5.18 and the Cardinals are going to run up the score against him. I also don’t see Dakota Hudson having a lot of success at Coors Field. He gave up three runs in his last start and he is going to be hit hard again in this game. Back the over to cash here.
