Colorado at St. Louis

The Rockies are still alive, technically. But for all practical purposes, they long ago played themselves out of it. The Rockies have played terrible baseball on the road when it mattered, and come into this one at 31-46 on the road for the season. Overall they are averaging just 3.8 runs per game on the road this season, batting just .230. They have played their worst baseball down the stretch at 1-9 over their last 10. The Cardinals seldom lose with Carpenter on the mound at home where they are 49-14 in their last 63 games. St. Louis has played their best baseball at home vs. teams with a winning record at 20-6 in their last 26 games. Jason Hammel is just 3-6 on the road this season with a 5.35 ERA and won't get it done here. St. Louis gets the call.
