Colorado Rockies vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

Taijuan Walker wasn’t good last season, and he’s making his season debut here after coming out of the bullpen. Walker is replacing the injured Ranger Suarez in the starting rotation. Not great on paper. However, the Rockies have had an ugly stretch to start the season, and their pitching has been getting rocked nightly. The Phillies have the offense to carry Walker if the wheels fall off. Also, this is a chance for Walker to make a good impression and potentially get his starting job back or, at the very least, earn spot starts. And with the way the Rockies are swinging the bats, he should be fine. Give me the Phillies and the RL for max betting value.
