The set-up: Colorado prevailed 8-4 last night and I think it'll post a similar victory on Saturday as well. The visitors hand the ball to Jaime Barria (0-0, 3.38 ERA) who was 4-10 with a 6.42 ERA last year, splitting time between the majors and minors. I think the sample size is too small for Barria in 2020 and that regression is imminent.

The pick: The Rockies hand the ball to southpaw Kyle Freeland (2-1, 3.60) who enters off a gem vs. the hard-hitting Padres on MOnday, allowing three hits and striking out six over six scoreless in what turned out to be an unfortunate no-decision. Over 50 innings Freeland has a very respectable 1.36 WHIP and 34:14 K:BB. I think Freeland should easily beat his counterpart here and that's the difference for me. Lay the very reasonable price on the home side in this one.

This is a 10* COACH'S CORNER on the Colorado Rockies.
