The Rockies are better than they've shown especially when playing at Coors Field. I like them to avoid the sweep by taking advantage of a cold Collin McHugh.




McHugh is 2-3 with a 6.86 ERA in his last seven starts. He's given up four homers in his last two starts. The Rockies know McHugh from when he used to pitch for Colorado.




The Astros are likely to be without their best all-around player, Jose Altuve. He left yesterday's game with tightness in his right hamstring and isn't expected to play today.




Colorado starter David Hale is underrated. He has a very respectable 1.09 WHIP and has shown he can pitch well at hitter-crazy Coors.
