If you're eager for a battle between two of the most down-on-their-luck baseball teams in the sport, then thank goodness there is a treat for you this week in Denver!

The Colorado Rockies and the Boston Red Sox, two of the worst teams in Major League Baseball, are dueling in a three-game set at Coors Field this week. Neither side has had a good season, making any sort of morale improvement a good one. That'll come for the lucky team that's able to pick up a series win.

The Rockies are fresh off winning two of three against the Pittsburgh Pirates this past weekend. It's not often that Colorado has been able to claim multiple victories versus the same opponent in a given week, so that was certainly a welcome change of pace for Warren Schaeffer's squad.

Meanwhile, the Red Sox also won a series of their own against the Seattle Mariners. This came in the immediate aftermath of a disappointing sweep by the Toronto Blue Jays.

Here is a breakdown of this fun series, including how to watch, the starting pitchers and a Rockies injury report.
