In this 7:05 ET start, Gerrit Cole looks to get untracked as he’s been knocked around in his last four starts and hence, Cole has been anything but merry… as he’s allowed 23 runs, (including 8 homers,) in only 19.3 innings. Cole’s ERA in his last three starts is 11.04, WHIP of 2.249 through 14.7 innings lasting an average of 4.9 innings per start. He’s allowed 18 earned runs on 29 hits, (6 homers,) while walking 4 vs. 14 strikeouts. In his last two home starts he has given up 11 earned runs on 21 hits through 9.7 innings.
Tyler Chatwood, who has won his last three road starts, is on the mound for the Rockies. He’s allowed 2 runs on 9 hits while pitching a combined 21 innings in his last three starts. In his seven road starts this season Chatwood’s ERA is 2.53, WHIP of 0.971 through 46.3 innings averaging 6.6 innings per start while allowing 13 earned runs on 27 hits, (6 homers,) while walking 18 vs. 37 strikeouts.
