The Colorado Rockies have just a 1-1/2 game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers for the second Wild Card spot, so losing is not an option when they play the rubber game of a 3-game set against the Miami Marlins in an early one today at Coors Field. The Rockies will send Jon Gray to the hill and he will be opposed by Marlins southpaw Adam Conley. Conley has had issues in his last 3 outings, going 1-0, with an inflated ERA of 10.50, a 2.17 WHIP, and was lit up in his last turn, allowing 7 runs on 6 hits in just 1-2/3 innings. Gray on the other hand, has been delivering. He is 2-0 in his last 3 outings, with an ERA of just 1.50, a 0.89 WHIP, and has allowed 3 runs or fewer in his last 12 starts. The Rockies are 8-3 in their last 11 home games against southpaws and should get to Conley today.
