I know it's early in the season, but who would think the Rockies come into this game even in the loss column with Houston, just 1/2 game behind in the NL Standings. Spencer Arrighetti gets the ball for Houston. That's not exactly good news, as Arrighetti is 1-5 with a blistering 5.35 ERA. His trouble has been control, walking 20 batters in 35.3 innings of work. Carlos Quintana is a veteran starter who, over the last three years, has posted a 3.84 ERA and a winning record. The Rockies have more than held their own in the early going. I like Colorado in this one.
