#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Tampa Bay vs. Colorado, 07/19/2016 4:40 PM, Score: 10 - 1
Money Line: -145.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
Play: Colorado Rockies
Rating: 8*

The Tampa Bay Rays entered this three-game set with the Colorado Rockies on the back of a 5-2 win against Baltimore home at the Trop. They've still dropped 11 straight road games and 25 of 29 overall and suffered a 7-4 setback against the Rockies in last night's contest.

Blake Snell (1-4, 3.69 ERA) takes the ball for the Rays tonight. He's held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in four of his first six major-league starts, but he's been forced to get himself out of plenty of jams. Pitching at Coors Field will be a tough task for the rookie and the Rockies are 5-1 in their last six home games vs. a left-handed starter.

Tyler Chatwood (8-5, 3.29) takes the ball for Colorado. His 5-0 record behind a 1.30 ERA in eight road starts says quite a bit about his capacity, and his overall ERA is bloated by pitching at Coors Field. He should be able to keep the Rays' anemic bats at bay tonight.

The Rockies will also have the advantage with a home friendly umpire; the home team is 40-13 in Clint Fagan's last 53 games behind home plate.

Note that:
- Mike Lundin was roughed up pretty bad on Monday and his Top Rated pick on the Orioles turned out a loser. He's still 15-4 L19 TOP RATED MLB SELECTIONS and he has a TOP RATED MLB *BIG HITTER* locked and loaded for Tuesday. Grab it and cash it!
