The Rays are coming into this game with a 4-5 record this season and they have not been great in their recent games. They are coming off of an 8-6 win against the Rockies in their last game but they have lost 2 of their last 3 as well as 4 of their last 6 games. They are going up against a Rockies team that is 2-7 this season but they have been much better in their recent games. They have still lost 2 of their last 3 games but their offense has been very hot in those as they have scored at least 6 runs in each of their last 3 games. Ryan Pepiot is starting for the Rockies in this game and he is 0-1 with a 9.53 ERA this season. He was not great in Spring Training as he finished 0-1 with a 4.66 ERA, allowing 10 earned runs in a little over 19 innings pitched, and he has continued that into the regular season now as he allowed 6 earned runs in less than 6 innings pitched against the Rangers in his 1st start of the season. This is only his 3rd MLB season as well and he does not have much experience pitching in this ballpark as he has only done so one other time last season. Dakota Hudson is starting for the Rockies here and he is 0-1 with a 0.00 ERA this season. He was credited with the loss in his 1st start of the season but he was not charged with any runs in that game. He was not awful in Spring Training this year either and he has been a solid starter throughout his career with a 3.80 ERA. The Rockies offense has been hot recently and they are going to find ways to score runs in this game with the way the Rays have been pitching. The Rays have also been very inconsistent on offense as well as with their pitching to start the season. The Rockies are going to win this game at home and take this series.
