Pittsburgh at Colorado

The Colorado Rockies have been a lot more exciting this season. They seemed to have come of age a bit sooner than expected, as they have a couple good looking young arms in their rotation. They enter his game at 56-42 on the season. One of those young arms is German Marquez, who will take the rubber tonight. Like a lot of young pitchers, there is an adjustment when pitching at home, and Marquez has seen his home starts average 5.43 runs per game for the opponent. Pittsburgh has an extended success rate vs. Colorado, as the Pirates 13-5 laugher here last night now has them at 15-4 in the last 19 meetings, averaging just shy of six runs per contest. They are also 9-1 in Colorado, where they average 8.2 runs per contest. Back Pittsburgh.
