Colorado Rockies Struggle Continues as St. Louis Cardinals Look to Capitalize

The Colorado Rockies are currently in a challenging slump, having lost eight consecutive games. Starting pitcher Gomber has yet to secure a victory this season with an ERA over six and has given up twelve home runs in less than fifty innings pitched. In contrast, the St. Louis Cardinals have recently won four out of their last five games and remain in contention for a wild card position. Pitcher McGreevy has shown promising performance in his previous outings and has a good track record against the Rockies. Taking into consideration Colorado's poor performance and lack of offensive capabilities on the road, it would be wise to favor the St. Louis Cardinals in this upcoming match.
