The Rockies need the good Jon Gray starting today (and from here on out) as he has been Jekyll and Hyde for most of the season. Gray went seven innings giving up one run in his last start, recovering from four awful starts earlier in the month. So, for the Rockies’ sake, Gray has to build off of that and pitch the Rockies to a division crown.
After that, Gray will get a chance to make up for his forgettable effort in last year’s Wild Card game.
The bats are red hot throughout the lineup and coming off the bench, especially Gerardo Parra, who’s been nearly automatic pinch hitting.
