Colorado goes for the sweep, off a win, but the Rockies are 16-36 in their last 52 games following a win. It won't be easy to sweep Philadelphia as Colorado is 17-36 against them. The Phillies have three wins as a dog, including a 1-0 win over the Braves as a +135 dog three nights ago. Roberto Hernandez goes for the Phillies, 1-0 in his only road start. He's struck out 17 in 16 innings and opponents are hitting only .222 off him. Juan Nicasio is the No. 4 starter in the Rockies' rotation, and the team is 2-9 in his last 11 starts with four days of rest. Nicasio made both of his career starts against the Phillies last season, posting a 4.76 ERA without receiving a decision. He went 5 2/3 innings in each outing. The Rockies are 7-18 in their last 25 vs. the National League East, so grab the visitors. Play Philadelphia.
