Rockies Continue to be Awful

It has been a terrible start to the season, and it looks like it could be a long summer at Coors Field.

The Rockies are averaging 3.79 runs while their pitching is giving up 6.29 runs per game. The offense is ranked 24th in the league while the pitching is ranked 30th. Their run differential is currently -2.5 and they need to find a way to improve on that quickly. Ryan McMahon has been the top player for the Rockies hitting four home runs and driving in 16 RBIs. The Rockies will meet the Pirates after this series.

Marlins Finally Pick Up Another Win

The Marlins only have seven wins this season but they were able to pick up the win on Tuesday. Dane Myers had a strong game finishing with two hits and three RBIs. Starting pitcher Sixto Sanchez went four innings giving up seven hits and five runs. The Marlins are averaging 3.47 runs while their pitching is giving up 5.6 runs per game. The offense is ranked 28th while the pitching is ranked 29th. The offense hasn’t been good, but the pitching has been a bigger issue and they need to find a way to get the pitching better going forward. The Marlins will face the A’s and Dodgers following this series.

Miami Marlins vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

These are both offenses that have had issues scoring all season and it’s going to be no different here. Even though both teams found success scoring on Tuesday, it’s going to be different here. For a team that plays in Denver, it’s bad that the Rockies that are averaging only 3.79 runs per game. Both of these offenses are going to have some major issues scoring, and that is going to be the difference. Both of these offenses are going to struggle here and the under is going to cash here.
