Preview
Does it count as a four-game series sweep if the Astros win in Houston and Colorado? I'm not sure it matter, the Astros will take the four wins.
Former Rockies pitcher, Collin McHugh has struggled to say the least in his last few starts. He has a 8.44 ERA in three starts in June. In his most recent start, he gave up eight runs over three innings of work against Seattle on June 13. Are we looking at the real Collin McHugh or can he find his 2014 form again.
McHugh is 0-2 with a 7.80 ERA in three career starts at Coors Field.

David Hale has given up six home runs over his last 19 innings. Not a good mix when facing the team that leads the league in home runs and you pitch in the launching pad that is Coors field.
