Purple Row Prediction Competition: Week 8

PrintHere is how the scoring works for the uninitiated. The Rockies are playing seven games this week: four against Arizona and three against St. Louis, all of them at Coors Field. Here are this week's pitching matchups. I believe that the first game on Tuesday (day-night doubleheader) will be started by Greg Reynolds, while Jorge De La Rosa and Jhoulys Chacin will be two start pitchers this week.

Tonight: 6 3 Rockies WP Ubaldo
CP: Rockies hit a grand slam this week
