TAMPA BAY(+103) at Colorado
The Rockies will welcome the surging Rays who are 7-3 in there last 10 and have won 5 games in a row. Jeff Niemann will be trying to record outs for the Rays, while Jorge De La Rosa will be looking for his first win at home this year (0-5) Niemann has had better numbers on the road so far this year (4.01era), while La Rosa has been worse at home. (6.67 era) Also Niemann is much better statistically with runners on base than Rosa, and while the Rays are at there best vs Lefties on the road, (.294 avg) the Rockies are at there worst against Righties at home. (.247 avg) Colorado was the hottest team in baseball, and probably the only team who would have rather just skipped the off day on Monday, and I think the Tampa Bay Rays take this first game of the series.
