DENVER -- Of the several young arms that have had a shot in the Rockies' starting rotation, it is the one many had written off -- 26-year-old Chad Bettis -- who has found the most success.
The right-hander will make his seventh start of the season Monday in Houston. During his first six outings, Bettis posted a 3.05 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 38u2153 innings, walking 11 and striking out 33. The underlying numbers for Bettis are positive as well; he owns a 2.32 FIP and 3.53 xFIP.
"He's been lights out," Rockies catcher Nick Hundley said.
