ASA 5*
COLORADO ROCKIES (De La Rosa)+120
over Florida Marlins (Johnson)
ASA MLB TOP GAME - Josh Johnson is an emerging ace in the National League but he has not proven nearly as effective in his road starts. Johnson has allowed nine runs in just 12 innings in two road starts this season and this will be his first appearance in a dangerous Coor’s Field. Florida managed to win last night’s game in Colorado but the Marlins are just 4-13 in the last 17 games after a hot first two weeks of the season. Despite being two games over .500 the Marlins have been outscored on the season and in contrast Colorado has outscored opponents despite an 11-17 record on the year.
After a marginal opening start of the season Jorge De La Rosa has made four consecutive solid starts, allowing six or fewer hits and three or fewer earned runs in each outing. He will face a Marlins lineup that is hitting .238 on the season against left-handed pitching and only .216 over the past ten games. Colorado’s offense has been much more consistently productive and after starting the year 5-11 the Rockies have been playing better overall ball of late. The Rockies have not lost three consecutive home games all season so this will be a key game to get back on track after back-to-back losses to San Francisco and Florida.
At first glance Johnson appears to have the superior numbers but over the last three starts Johnson has allowed 20 hits while De La Rosa has allowed just 12. Colorado’s bullpen has also posted excellent numbers of late after a poor opening stretch of the season. Over the last ten games the Rockies are featuring a 3.31 ERA overall for the pitching staff including 2.97 for the bullpen. Colorado won three of four at home against Florida last season and this is great value on the Rockies as a home underdog as Colorado is a much better team than the early record indicates
