The Colorado Rockies head home after getting the game they wanted and erasing the Phillies home-field advantage. The series is now a best of three with the next two in Colorado. Jason Hammel began the season in the pen and struggled in his transition to becoming a starter as the Rockies dropped four of his first five starts. The Rockies have since gone 17-9 in his last 26 starts, and that includes a stellar 10-2 mark at home. Pedro Martinez supplied some much needed quality innings down the stretch for the Phillies, but he no longer possesses the dominant stuff he once had. Martinez did not pitch well on the road where he had a 5.66 ERA. This is going to be a very difficult spot for Martinez, who is not a fan of cold weather and with temperatures hovering around 30 degrees, he is not going to fare well. I will go with Colorado in this one.
