The Houston Astros will go for a 3-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field today and they should do it. The pathetic 19-67 Rockies are expected to send Kyle Freeland to the hill and his numbers are terrible. The southpaw is 1-9 with a 5.56 ERA, a 1.58 WHIP, and Colorado is 0-7 in his last 7 home starts. The 52-34 Astros are expected to give the start to Brandon Walter and he will keep one of the worst hitting teams in the league in check. Walter is 1-1 with a 3.34 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP. The ‘Stros have won 7 straight against the Rockies. They are also 4-0 in their last 4 interleague games against a left-handed starter and 6-0 in their last 6 in Game 3 of a series. Everything points to a Houston win.
