Result: Win
A day of rest and stepping way down in class - not to mention having a huge pitching edge - should do wonders for the Nationals.
Washington and stud pitcher Jordan Zimmerman face the Rockies, who have a bad starter going backed by a bad bullpen.
Look for the Nationals to take out their frustrations and end their six-game losing streak by smashing the Rockies. Washington has gone against Zach Greinke, Clayton Kershaw and Madison Bumgarner in three of their last six losses.
Now the Nationals go from the Dodgers and Giants to the Rockies and David Hale. Colorado is 8-24 the past 32 times it has been a 'dog.
Don't expect Hale to raise that low percentage. He hasn't started since July 4. He's been out with a groin strain and hasn't looked good rehabbing in the minors. Before the injury, Hale was winless in his last five starts. Only once did he go longer than six innings during this time frame, which likely puts the horrible Colorado bullpen into play.
The Rockies couldn't continue with overmatched Eddie Butler in the rotation so the call went out to Hale. It's a call of desperation.
Zimmerman is 5-0 lifetime versus Colorado with a 2.10 ERA in eight starts. Washington is 23-10 in Zimmerman's past 33 road outings versus below .500 opponents.
