The set-up: Colorado won the opener, and LA bounced back with the 11-6 victory yesterday. The Rockies though look good to respond here on Saturday against Walker Buehler, who enters off a putrid Spring showing, most recently getting shelled for nine runs off ten hits with one walk over five innings in a loss to Milwaukee. Walker finished Spring with a poor 7.94 ERA.

The pick: Jon Gray had a poor spring as well, posting a 9.90 ERA over ten innings. Current "form" makes these starters a "wash." Gray gets the slight nod here for throwing at home, where he's very familiar. Also note that Colorado is 6-2 in its last eight in trying to revenge a home loss vs. an opponent in which it conceded ten or more runs in. A great price on a game which I believe is much more even than what this line is suggesting.

This is a 10* UNDERDOG GAME OF THE MONTH on the Rockies.
