This is a 10* on MIAMI

A poor stretch has landed the Marlins in last place in their division. But almost never have we been THIS confident about taking a team that’s lost 9 of its last 10 games. This is because they are back home and facing Colorado. The Rockies are an unthinkable 4-22 in road games so far. They’ve been shut out ten times and outscored more than 2:1 (131-63). Pablo Lopez was set to start Monday for Miami, but was pushed back a day for rest purposes. This is a very good thing. Instead of facing the Red Sox at Fenway Park, Lopez now gets to pitch at home where he’s got 0.98 ERA and 0.87 WHIP. Colorado is hitting .197 in road games and scoring just 2.4 runs/game. It gets worse. Antonio Senzatela starts for the Rockies tonight. His team start record away from home is 0-3 and that’s with a 7.14 ERA + 2.03 WHIP. Miami is better than its record and will win this battle of 1993 expansion teams. Play on MIAMI
