Colorado Rockies Analysis

On Monday night Gomber will pit against the braves, although he has proven inconsistent recently against Arizona (six runs in 5.1 innings). The Colorado Rockies have struggled this season, ranking #18 for offense with 4.40 runs per game and #25 for defense with 1.51 WHIP. They have posted a record of 49-81 for the season. In their last three matchups against the Braves they went 0-3. Monday night's matchup will call on Gomber to take the mound. He has performed well against the Cardinals, Dodgers, and Rays holding them to five runs in seventeen combined innings, but another start against Arizona resulted in six runs in 5.1 innings. This will be his first time facing the Braves. . @Chuck_Nazty getting the party started in Baltimore #Rockies pic.twitter.com/8qGEGenv6m
