Battling a Phillies lineup that took close pitches and worked counts, Rockies starter Senzatela threw 101 pitches over five innings in his last start. But he limited the damage to just two runs.
The Pirates starter Lyles is coming off his best start with the Pirates -- seven innings, one run, five hits, one walk and a career-high 12 strikeouts on Friday at San Diego. The Pirates offense is very weak and I like the Rockies offense here in day action.

This Rockies offense is looking like the Rockies offense we expected. The Rocks are scoring 6.8 runs per game in May, and they're one of the top-hitting teams in day games, too and far better than the Pirates in both instances. Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela's has a road ERA of 2.95 and enjoys pitching on the road.
Take the Rockies this afternoon.
