Colorado at Atlanta

Colorado has a winning road mark and is on a nice, 7-1, run after winning 5-3 here yesterday. Starter German Marquez has allowed two runs or less in six of his last eight starts, off a 5-1 win at Houston as a dog. Since June 24 he has gone 5-1 with a 2.90 ERA over his last eight starts. He has been great on the road all season, with a 6-3 record and a 2.92 ERA with batters hitting .200 off him. Colorado is #10 in baseball in runs scored and seventh in slugging. The Rockies are also 24-8 following a victory. Atlanta is riding a three-game skid, losing all three as a favorite. Atlanta's Anibal Sanchez has cooled off, allowing 11 runs his last 19 innings. Colorado is on a 23-7 run against Atlanta, including six straight wins in this park, so back the visiting dog that is playing well. Play Colorado.
