Money line
The Rockies, despite going 4-3 on their last road trip, are tied for the fewest road wins in baseball with 11.
The Marlins are 15-14 at home this season and have won 6 of their last 8 games there.
Because these are 2 teams that have not been great this season, the price on the money line here is worth it for the home team.
Take the MARLINS (-130).
