Analysis
The Colorado Rockies have won three in a row and are in a good spot for this series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Rockies' three-game streak came against the Kansas City Royals, outscoring the AL Central cellar dwellers by a combined final of 23-8. I don't know if they're going to sweep the Rays, but because this series starts on a Monday, I like Colorado's chances in the opener. That's because the Rays are mired in a 3-7 road skid, with an ERA of 4.77 in those games.
