The Colorado Rockies are now 35-17 in their last 52 games overall including 15-5 in their last 20 home games, and we look for them to stay hot tonight behind Aaron Cook vs. the punchless Arizona Diamondbacks.

Cook has again been the ace of the Colorado staff, going 9-3 with a 3.85 ERA despite half of his starts coming in the altitude of Coors Field. He has now allowed three runs or less in seven of his last eight starts, with one of those outings coming against these Diamondbacks. He is facing an Arizona lineup that is struggling along at a .226 clip on the road over the entire season, and before scoring six runs here last night, had scored a total of seven runs the previous four games.

Now granted, Max Scherzer has pitched well for the D-Backs with a 3.64 ERA in 17 starts. However, young pitchers can be intimidated a bit pitching in Colorado, and Scherzer did allow five runs in six innings in his only other start here this season. That would simply not cut it when you look at the disparity of these two offenses, especially with the red-got Colorado lineup averaging 6.10 runs over the last 10 games.

We look for the Rockies to reach Scherzer again like they did the last time he pitched here, and for Cook to keep the Snakes in check, resulting in a nice Colorado Run Line victory at good odds.
