The Colorado Rockies come into this one looking to bounce back after a rough series against the Houston Astros, being swept in Mexico City after an 8-2 loss in Sunday’s series finale which followed Colorado’s series split with the Padres to start the week.

Miami trailed for more than half the game before getting on the board in the 6th inning to cut their deficit to 3-2, but Washington added 4 in the 7th to take the lead for good as Miami was held to just four hits in the loss.

Rockies vs. Marlins Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on the Rockies here. I think what it boils down to is the fact that Miami is 0-10 as a favorite this season and I don’t think they should be laying odds against anyone and if they are, against a team on their level like the Rockies here, I don’t think it should be greater than a coin flip price. The Rockies are far from world-beaters, but I think the value is on them here. Give me Colorado.
