Colorado has saved their best for last this season. The Rockies are making a major push in the NL West division after going 11-4 in their last 15 games overall. That includes 4 straight wins over San Diego and Cincinnati. I like Colorado’s chances to extend their winning streak to 5 games tonight with Jhoulys Chacin on the mound, who is 7-8 with a 3.35 ERA as a starter this year. Chacin has really come up big for the Rockies in his last three outings, going 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA and 0.950 WHIP. He has allowed just 2 earned runs in 20 innings while striking out 19 in those 3 starts.

This has been a very one-sided series over the past few seasons as well. Over the last 3 years, Colorado is 14-3 in 17 meetings with the Reds. That includes a 7-1 mark at Coors Field after last night’s 10-5 victory. Colorado is now 44-22 at home this season, hitting .302 and scoring 6.0 RPG. The Reds are 0-4 in Cueto’s last 4 starts vs. a team with a winning record. The Rockies are 42-16 in their last 58 home games vs. a right-handed starter. Bet Colorado Tuesday.
