Colorado Rockies
No surprise that the Rockies are led by their offense, which ranks 4th in the Majors in runs scored while their pitching only ranks 27th in team ERA.
While the pitching has been the issue for Colorado on the season it has been solid as of late and in their last 4 games they have only combined to give up 10 runs.
Chris Rusin (1-1 4.85 ERA) goes for the Rockies tonight and in his last outing he gave up 4 earned runs in 5 innings in a 5-1 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He is making his 4th start of the season and Colorado won his first 2 outings before a loss in his last start.
Rusin faced the Cardinals once last season and it was an outing he would like to forget giving up 6 runs in 5 innings in a Colorado loss.
The Rockies are 3-10 in Rusin’s last 13 road starts.
The Rockies 12-8 on the road this season.
St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals rank 3rd in the Majors in runs scored and 11th in team ERA.
Adam Wainwright (3-3 6.80 ERA) gets the go for the Cardinals tonight and in his last outing he was tagged up for 6 earned runs in 5 innings, but his offense bailed him out in the 12-10 win over the L.A. Angels.
The Cardinals have won Wainwright’s last 4 starts, but it is mainly because of the offense. In those games St. Louis totaled 39 runs while he has given up 16 earned runs.
In Wainwright’s 8 starts this season opponents are hitting .330 off him.
Wainwright is 6-1 with a 1.56 ERA in 8 career starts facing the Rockies.
