The Colorado Rockies took 3 of 4 games last week from the San Diego Padres at Petco Park and today they will open a 3-game set against them at Coors Field. The Friars are expected to send the southpaw, Clayton Richards, to the rubber. Richards is 0-1, with an ERA of 4.50, and a 1.50 WHIP. Richards last faced the Rockies on Wednesday, where he was hammered for 5 runs on 8 hits in the 5-2 loss. Jon Gray is expected to go for Colorado. Gray is 1-1, with an ERA of 2.45, and a WHIP of 1.18. The Rockies are 7-2 in his last 9 home starts, and they are 4-1 in Gray’s last 5 starts against the Padres. I like the Rockies in this situation.
