Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez didn't have a very difficult time locking down a win on Wednesday as Colorado's offense put up a ludicrous amount of runs, but he still wanted to make sure he did his part. So not only did Marquez throw six solid innings for a quality start, but he also helped out with the bat by hammering a home run off David Descalso, Arizona's position player/surprise reliever. Marquez has been rolling recently as he's thrown three straight quality starts, but he's also been the epitome of a Colorado starter that should only be started on the road. Marquez's road ERA is 2.62 while his home ERA is 7.31 this season.

Colorado rockies starting pitcher German Marquez bested his idol Felix Hernandez in a strong performance on Friday. Pitching in Seattle, Marquez was matched up against his favorite player and a potential playoff team, but he brought his best and threw six innings of one-run ball to record his eighth win. Marquez struck out five and lowered his road ERA to a phenomenal 2.62. Marquez has only allowed more than two earned runs in a road start once this season, and he should absolutely be started anytime he's away from home. He should not be started at home.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez will face the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Marquez is an extremely valuable streaming option, as he will face the Mariners in Seattle and escape Coors Field. Marquez has turned in spectacular numbers on the road this season, except one hiccup in Philadelphia. Seattle's whole team only has 15 at-bats against the elusive righty, and we expect Marquez to put up great numbers on Friday. He has recorded 93 strikeouts in 91 innings in 2018 and will have a great opportunity to fix a subpar season when he faces the Mariners in Seattle on Friday.

Marquez (6-8) earned the win over the Dodgers on Saturday by throwing eight innings of one-run ball, allowing two hits and striking out nine. He started the game with five perfect frames.

Marquez (5-8) allowed six runs (five earned) in 3.1 innings Sunday, giving up nine hits and three walks in a 8-5 loss to Miami. He allowed a home run and struck out six.

Marquez (5-7) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out four over six innings against the Mets.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez finished Thursday's outing with an ugly line of six innings pitched with six earned runs, but he didn't pitch all that badly for the majority of it. Entering the seventh inning, Marquez was at 98 pitches and had a quality start under his belt. The game was 3-2 Philly, and manager Bud Black chose to send Marquez back out there. Back-to-back singles with no outs were enough to warrant a mound visit, but he still didn't replace Marquez. Only after Marquez walked JP Crawford on four straight pitches, Black replaced him with lefty Jake McGee. After a passed ball, McGee allowed a two-run double to Rhys Hoskins, someone who is slugging .426 against lefties, leaving Marquez with the ugly numbers and turning a close game into a blowout. Marquez is still a solid, if not spectacular, pitcher when he's on the road, and owners shouldn't get too worried just because of this start.

Marquez (4-7) was saddled with the loss Thursday after giving up six runs on seven hits and two walks across six innings against the Phillies. He struck out eight.

During Colorado's loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday, an odd sight sprung up as Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez was seen warming up in the bullpen in the ninth inning. Marquez lost to Arizona earlier in the weekend, but he only threw 69 pitches in the outing. However, Colorado's bullpen continues to be atrocious as a whole, so it looks like manager Bud Black may start using starters to stem the bleeding on their off days. It remains to be seen if this was a one-time occurrence.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez took his horrendous home split to the hill on Friday, and he promptly skewed it even more. Marquez has a 4.79 ERA on the season, which is bad, but his splits are what truly tell the story. Marquez has pitched 32 2/3 innings at home and 35 innings on the road, and his home ERA is a horrific 7.71 while his road ERA is a sparkling 2.06. Marquez was rocked once again at home on Friday, so his huge splits will continue for now. Owners could ride the line and start Marquez when he's away from home, but nobody should be starting him when he's in Denver.

Marquez didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 12-4 loss to the Dodgers, allowing four runs on seven hits and three walks over six innings while striking out eight.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez snagged the win with a fantastic performance against the Dodgers on Monday night. Marquez went seven innings while only allowing two hits and one earned run in a nail-biter. He struck out five and walked two along the way. Marquez is saddled with a 4.62 ERA that is almost entirely inflated by three bad starts where he's given up 18 earned runs in just 12 2/3 innings. Outside of those three starts, he's had seven starts where he's allowed no more than two earned runs. Those three starts all took place at home. Owners should feel confident starting Marquez and his 2.06 ERA on the road.

Marquez (3-5) held the Dodgers to a run on two hits and two walks with five strikeouts through seven innings to pick up the win Monday.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez got smacked around by Milwaukee on Thursday, surrendering 12 hits in just 4 2/3 innings. Right from the start, when Marquez gave up a solo home run on the first pitch of the game, he looked off. Marquez was saddled with his third loss in four outings and his third loss at home this season, as he allowed five earned runs and walked three while only striking out three. Marquez has frustratingly shown flashes of brilliance, like his quality start against the Mets last week when he struck out eight and walked zero, but they've been peppered by three ugly outings this year where he's given up six or more earned runs in less than five innings of work. He's still got potential, but Marquez should be avoided until he can develop some consistency.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez looked good in New York as he threw six strong innings against the Mets on Friday. Marquez allowed two earned runs while striking out eight and walking none en route to the win. This makes two straight solid starts for Marquez, but both came on the road, where he sports a flashy 1.96 ERA. He's next scheduled to take the mound at home, where his ERA is 10.64. It would be recommended that owners avoid him when he's at home.

Marquez (2-3) picked up the win over the Mets on Friday, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings while striking out eight.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez was a popular sleeper coming into this season, but after a shiny first start, he got massacred by the Braves on Friday. Marquez hurt his own cause by walking six batters in just 4 and 2/3 innings, and Atlanta eventually hung seven earned runs on him before the day was out. Hopefully, owners were smart enough to sit Marquez since he was pitching at home, and the Braves have proved to be a better team than expected so far. The big concern for Marquez at the moment are his walk numbers. Even though he threw five shutout innings last time out, he walked four in that appearance as well. If he can't get his walks under control, he may be lucky to stay in the rotation, much less be fantasy relevant.

Marquez (0-1) took the loss against the Braves on Friday, coughing up seven runs on seven hits and six walks over 4.2 innings while striking out two.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez had been turning heads in the Cactus League this spring, but Sunday, he was the one doing the head-turning. After two stellar outings to start his spring, Marquez was rocked by LA for eight runs in just 2 and 2/3 innings. Marquez gave up a host of extra-base hits en route to a thrashing by the Dodgers. While Marquez had a successful rookie season last year and plenty of potential, it's an important reminder to fantasy owners that a young pitcher like him is still prone to blow-ups that can be painful. Add in the natural challenge of his home park, and owners should keep their expectations for Marquez in check this season.

The Colorado Rockies have selected righty German Marquez to start their game on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Marquez has posted a strong rookie season so far, logging a 4.18 ERA over 131 and 1/3 innings, and with the playoffs still well within reached for the Rockies, he'll look to keep getting regular starts throughout September. His last outing against Detroit ended in a no-decision, but he did strike out 10 in 6 and 1/3 innings while only allowing three earned runs.

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez has been a pleasant surprise this season, and he's been rolling recently. At just 22-years-old, Marquez has had his rocky moments in his first full season in the bigs, but overall, his 4.20 ERA has worked quite well for a Colorado staff that has constantly battled injuries. In his last three starts, all at home, Marquez has thrown three straight quality starts against the White Sox, Padres, and Pirates. On Friday though, he'll face a true test by going against the Nationals in DC. It's a tough matchup for any pitcher, and Washington has been on fire recently. Marquez will be a risky start for fantasy managers, but getting this deep into the season, some may choose to play it boldly and run him out there.

Rockies right-hander German Marquez won after allowing one run on four hits and one walk with two strikeouts over five solid innings on Wednesday against the Pirates. The rookie threw 52 of his 83 pitches for strikes and now sits at 5-3 with a 4.19 ERA through his first 10 Major League starts. His FIP sits a little lower at 3.90, though each of his starts have been on one end of the extreme. He's now allowed two or fewer runs in seven outings, and five or more in the other three. He clearly possesses some real upside and seems up to the task of pitching in Coors Field, but he'll likely be the first arm to be removed from the rotation when Tyler Anderson returns. And even if he makes it through that, Jon Gray's return would almost surely bounce him. Still, those in keeper/dynasty formats should be feeling good about his 2017 campaign thus far, and we'll likely see at least one more start out of him before Anderson comes back.

Marquez (4-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and three walks while striking out five over three innings to take a no-decision in Friday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

Colorado Rockies right-hander German Marquez, who received an extra day of rest to allow his sore thumb to improve as best it can, is all set to take on the Cubbies at Wrigley Field on Friday afternoon. The rookie has done well on the whole thus far with a 3.91 FIP behind his 4.53 ERA with nearly a strikeout per inning. Of course, remove that awful first start where he allowed eight earned runs, and his ERA drops to 3.24 over his last seven starts. While that's encouraging, the issue here is that he's allowing a .289/.347/.444 slash line to lefties in the bigs (.253/.314/.495 versus righties), and the Cubs have noticed. Outside of third baseman Kris Bryant and Javier Baez, the defending champs will be sending up seven batters who either hit lefty or switch, so perhaps those of you who are on the fence with Marquez should take a really hard look in the mirror for today.
