The Denver-area native couldn’t help but think of the Stanley Cup Finals, too.

Freeland is 2-0 in his career against the Marlins with a 4.15 ERA in four game (two starts). He won in his lone appearance at loanDepot Park, a start in 2019 in which he yielded only one run in seven innings.
In five starts on the road this season, Freeland is 1-2 with a 3.00 ERA. He has a 1-2 record and a 5.64 ERA in four starts during the day.
Garrett will be making his fourth start of the season. Last Saturday, he lost to the Mets in New York as he allowed three runs on five hits in four innings while walking two and striking out none.
In his lone start against the Rockies, Garrett lost last season as he surrendered two runs over four innings.
He might have beaten the Rox if it were table tennis.

Rockies vs Marlins Prediction
Betting on the Rockies on the road can often be a fool’s errand. However, Kyle Freeland has been pitching well lately and he has been very good away from Coors Field this season, making Colorado an attractive underdog.
Pick: Rockies ML (+116)
