Pitching Match-Up

Colorado.: German Marquez (0-1 4.97 ERA)
Pittsburgh: Steven Brault (2-0 3.46 ERA)

In Marquez’s last start he went three innings and did not give up any earned runs getting ejected after a bench-clearing brawl in a 6-4 win over the San Diego Padres. The Rockies have won two of his three starts this season where he has given up no earned runs over eight innings in the wins and got lit up for seven earned runs in four innings in the loss. In two starts against the Pirates, last season Marquez went 2-0 with an ERA of 2.25.

In Brault’s last start he gave up four earned runs in five innings in taking a no-decision in a 13-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs. He won his first two outings of the season, one as a starter one in relief, where he totaled eight innings and only gave up one earned run allowing five hits. Brault’s only appearance in his career against the Rockies came in relief in his first game action of last season where he gave up two earned runs in only an inning in a 7-3 Pirates loss.

Rockies at Pirates Prediction 4/16/18

When you have two starters with relatively high WHIPs 1.74 for Marquez and 1.46 for Brault, the first thing that you should be doing is looking at the total. German Marquis is capable of tossing a good game, and he did do exactly that last July throwing seven innings of two-run ball, but he can also be erratic with ten walks in his first two games this season. Steven Brault rarely impresses and can be counted on to give up his share of runs. The lefty may have his work cut out for himself tonight against the Rockies who have averaged 5.43 runs per nine innings against lefties this season.
