Game of the Day
St. Louis Cardinals at Colorado Rockies · 8:10 ET
Coors Field · Market: STL -122, total 10.5
September's stretch run is tightening across both leagues, but this game's most interesting number sits at altitude. Alec Burleson is the model's top hitter on either roster tonight, outprojected for combined hits, runs and RBIs by no one in either lineup — and Coors Field's thin air only adds to the equation. On the mound, Matthew Liberatore carries the swing-and-miss upside in this one, well ahead of his counterpart across the diamond.
