Cade Horton vs Germán Márquez opens a marquee Rockies-Cubs series at Coors Field. Horton has been sensational this season, going 8-4 with a 2.88 ERA and allowing only two earned runs across his last seven starts, a 0.49 ERA over 37 innings. Márquez, back from the IL, must locate rhythm and keep the ball down in the thin Denver air. Colorado’s lineup leans on Tovar and Doyle with Arcia at 2B while Ritter rests, creating a DFS-friendly clash with upside for both teams.

Expect Coors to amplify every hit, and fantasy managers will chase the ceiling of Horton and Márquez while factoring Rockies’ bats who have shown pop against Horton in the past. The matchup sets up a nuanced, midseason test for both rotation and lineup construction, offering meaningful value opportunities in daily formats.
