Back at home, fade on the road. That's the betting mantra of the Colorado Rockies.

I passed on the Rockies yesterday and they were upset at home by Seattle. I don't see a repeat of that occurring today.

Colorado is 32-20 at Coors Field. The Rockies are No. 1 in baseball in runs scored at home, while also ranking second in home batting average and third in slugging percentage in their home contests. Seattle has a losing road record.

Moreso, Colorado starter Austin Gomber has proven effective at Coors Field where he's 3-1 with a 1.48 ERA this season. Gomber is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA during his past three starts.

The Mariners are using this as a bullpen game. So their mediocre relief corps gets to deal with Coors Field. Chances are good that several of Seattle relievers are going to experience difficulty.
