Colorado Rockies vs Miami Marlins Picks
Rockies vs Marlins Spread Pick
- Take the Marlins (5 units)
It’s hard to take the Rockies seriously after last year's disaster of a season. Colorado had the worst record in the MLB and they struggled to contend against every team. The Rockies will be starting Michael Lorenzen, but he held a 5.56 ERA when playing on the road. The Marlins had the 11th best batting average last year. Miami also had the sixth-most hits, which will be key against a poor Rockies team, that scored the second-fewest runs in the league. Miami is also starting Eury Perez, who had a 2.93 ERA in eight home starts. Expect him to have a strong start to the year.
Take the Marlins to cover.
Rockies vs Marlins Over/Under Pick
- Take the under (5 units)
The Marlins will be starting Eury Perez, who had strong home performances last season. He has a 2.93 ERA inside his own building and that will be good enough against a poor Rockies lineup that had scored the second-fewest runs in the sport. Colorado also hit just .237 when playing last year, which won’t be good enough for a big scoring outing. The Marlins also hit the fourth-fewest home runs. Both lineups will struggle in this series.
Take the under on Saturday.
