The Rockies have always been a much better team playing in Colorado. It is a unique place for a visitor to come in. Florida has the lowest payroll in baseball, but after a 10-1 start, they opened some eyes, but that changed rather quickly as they have since been 5-13, and have no right being favored on the road here. Jorge De la Rosa is 0-2 but his 3.90 ERA is more than respectful pitching in Colorado. Josh Johnson has gotten off to a big start for Florida, but the Marlins are just 1-6 in their last seven as a favorite. The Rockies thrive at home, especially when saddled in the underdog role where they are 24-10 in their last 34 as a dog. This is a tough spot for a young team that has showed its youth after a torrid start. I'm going with the Rockies here.
