Rockies vs Marlins Starting Pitching & Lineup Predictions (5/22-5/25)

The Colorado Rockies are set to begin a seven-game homestand that features a four-game series that starts tonight against the Miami Marlins. The Rockies are coming off a brutal weekend that featured them being swept and outscored 31-10 by the Texas Rangers.

Offensively, the Rockies have been a much better team at home than on the road. On away games, Colorado has an average of .234 while having a home average of .284. Texas is traditionally a much friendlier hitters park as the ball usually carries further due to the scorching Texas heat. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for the Rockies over the weekend.

Colorado will be looking for a bounce-back series against a Marlins team who is 5-2 over their last seven games. They recently lost two games out of three on the road against the San Francisco Giants. While playing on the road this year, the Marlins have faced their fair share of struggles as they currently have a team batting average of .236 and have hit a total of 24 home runs with 191 strikeouts so far.

Below is the projected pitching matchup and lineups between the Rockies and Marlins this week.
