Toronto @ Colorado
Over his last three starts, Hammel is 2-0 with a 1.41 ERA.
In his last three home starts, Hammel is a perfect 3-0 with a 2.34 ERA.
Morrow would appear to be the auto-fade list on the road, what with his 0-3 record and 8.33 ERA in six road starts this season.
However, he has pitched well for the most part following a couple of rough starts to begin the year. And over his last three starts, he’s 1-0 with a 2.36 ERA.
But three of his four worst starts of the season have come on the road: 5 IP, five runs allowed at Baltimore, 1.2 IP, six runs allowed at Boston, 4 IP, six runs allowed at Arizona. And coming into Coors Park, that’s not good news.
