Prediction

Marlins 6, Rockies 3

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).

The Marlins are 35-30 ATS overall this season but only 14-15 ATS at home. They have covered the spread in 7 of their last 11. Six of their last 7 wins are by 2 or more runs.

The Rockies are 15-14 ATS on the road this season. Fourteen of their 18 road losses this season have been by 2 or more runs.

Take the MARLINS -1.5 (+160).

Over/Under

All 3 of their games in Denver had 8 or more runs.

Four of the Rockies’ last 5 games have had 8 or more runs.

Seven of the last 13 for the Marlins have had 8 or more.
