Marlins vs. Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Rockies here. I just like the way the Rockies have been producing at home and with the hitter-friendly nature of Coors Field, I think that Roddery Munoz is going to be in a bit of trouble here. Munoz’s biggest issue this season has been giving up home runs and I think that it’s going to be problematic here against a Rockies team that continues to just play well at home. Quantrill’s one of the rare pitchers that’s actually pitching better in Colorado and the Marlins, regardless of who is on the other side, just continue to struggle offensively. I think the Rockies get it done in this one so give me Colorado at home.
