The set-up: Colorado lost 13-6 last night, but I think it'll bounce back here with what I believe to be the superior starter on the mound for it. THe visitors hand the ball to Cristian Javier (2-1, 2.91 ERA) who has been decent in the early going, having gone at least six frames in two of his last three starts. The sample size is still pretty small for Javier though and certainly he faces his stiffest test of the year in this difficult Park.

The pick: German Marquez (2-3, 2.25) has yet to allow more than two earned runs in any start this year. Houston won the first two games of this four-game interleague series at home and then it routed last night. But Marquez was 5-2 at home last year and with a chip on his shoulder, I think he'll be the main reason why his team pulls out a victory in the series finale.

This is a 10* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the Rockies.
