Rockies struggle again

Colorado was shut out on four hits Saturday in a 6-0 loss at St. Louis to drop to 58-72 overall and 25-43 on the road. Daniel Murphy helped pace the Rockies offense as he went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk. Ian Desmond was 1-for-3 with a double, while Tony Wolters also finished 1-for-3. Chi Chi Gonzalez took the loss as he surrendered five earned runs on three hits with two strikeouts and six walks over 4 1/3 innings. Antonio Senzatela draws the start today as he enters with an 8-7 record, 6.29 ERA and 1.72 WHIP with 53 strikeouts over 93 innings pitched.

St. Louis secured a 6-0 home win Saturday over Colorado to improve to 70-58 overall and 39-24 at home.

MLB Betting Trends

Colorado

The Rockies are 5-1 in their last six Sunday games. Colorado is 17-36 in its last 53 Sunday games. 

St. Louis

The Cardinals are 9-1 in their last 10 home games. St. Louis is 4-1 in the last five Wacha home starts.

Prediction:He 

I can't trust Senzatela in almost any matchup, whether it's at Coors Field or away. He has a ridiculously low strikeout rate and allows baserunners to reach with a very high frequency. And away from Coors Field, Senzatela has a much less chance of his team's offense exploding for 10-plus runs. While Wacha has had a rocky season too, he can piece it together with more frequency than Senzatela. I'm sticking with the hot team here and going with St. Louis.
