Thursday's winner ...
300? COLORADO ROCKIES (LIST Cook) - Yesterday the Rockies delivered the entire package, the whole shi-bang. Behind pitcher Jorge De La Rosa, and an effective lineup, Colorado routed the Nationals, 10-4, to complete a three-game sweep and move out to 27-11 under Jim Tracy, who took over for Clint Hurdle.
The pitching has been there, as the rotation has been somewhat stifling the last five weeks, but it was the way the offense came around that has me impressed. And with a three-game win streak under their belts, the Rockies are going to make it four in a row with the Braves playing their seventh road game in as many days, not to mention their 10th game overall over the last 10 days.
Meanwhile, the Rockies have been home since July 3 and are currently 4-2 on this home stand. And there’s no reason to believe they can’t finish off the first half with a sweep of these Braves, it could very well happen. Just look at this rotation: Jason Marquis is heading to the All-Star Game currently riding a 17-inning scoreless streak and leading the National League with 11 wins, Jason Hammel has won five of his last six decisions and today’s starter, Aaron Cook hasn't lost a decision since June 1.
Cook has won his last five decisions and sports a 1.98 ERA in his last six starts and is attempting to win his sixth consecutive decision - a personal and club record - tonight. He should be toeing the slab with plenty of confidence, as he tossed a four-hit shutout against the Braves at Turner Field back on May 21.
Let’s play the Rockies today and list Cook for the win over Atlanta.
