Colorado Rockies at Washington Nationals
When: 7:05pm ET Where: Nationals Park, Washington, D.C. TV: ATT SportsNet-RM (Colorado) / MASN (Washington) Radio: 94.1 FM (Colorado) / 106.7 The Fan (Washington) Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Betting Odds for Friday: TBA Pitching Matchup: German Marquez (8-4, 4.20 ERA) (COL) vs Tanner Roark (8-6, 4.38 ERA) (WAS) German Marquez pitched well his last time out, striking out nine against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday — tying a career best. His slider was the pitch that ended up making hitters look silly. He has picked up wins in each of his last three starts, limiting opponents to a .256 batting average and striking out 23 men — while issuing just four walks. Ian Desmond, who plays both first base and in the outfield for the Rockies, was part of the Nationals organization from 2009 to 2015 and makes his first appearance in the nation’s capital as a visiting player.Will Roark Be a Threat to the Rockies?
Tanner Roark may have been even better his last time out, striking out 11 Diamondbacks in seven innings, leading his team to a 4-3 win. Roark has mounted a terrific comeback since his first six outings, in which he posted a combined 0-4 record and an 8.78 ERA. Since then, he has pitched much better; in his last two starts combined, his ERA has been a sparkling 1.38, and opponents are hitting just .146 against him. I like Washington to take the opener of this series with a win at home.Latest MLB Betting Trends

Kansas City Royals at Boston Red Sox
When: 7:10pm ET Where: Fenway Park, Boston, MA. TV: FSKC (Kansas City) / NESN (Boston) Radio: KCSP 610 (Kansas City) / 103.7 FM (Boston) Live Stream: MLB.tv MLB Betting Odds for Friday: TBA Pitching Matchup: Jason Vargas (12-4, 3.08 ERA) (KC) vs David Price (5-3, 3.82 ERA) (BOS) Jason Vargas has now gone three starts without picking up a win, but he pitched better his last time out, permitting just a pair of runs over five innings. Before that, he had permitted a dozen earned runs in his last 7 ⅔ innings combined. His July ERA is still 9.95 at this point. However, he starts for a Royals team that has reeled off eight wins in a row and has asserted themselves in the wild card conversation — and could push Cleveland for the division title after starting the season in a real funk.Who Will Start for Boston on Friday?
The Red Sox will start David Price in this game. Price has bucked a trend by pitching much better at Fenway Park than he has in the past. This season, he has posted a 2-1 record in four home starts, with a combined 2.67 ERA. Price has also pitched well against the Royals historically, going 4-0 with a 2.14 ERA. I like Price and the Red Sox to cool down that Royals momentum in this Friday night game from Fenway.
