In this Oakland Athletics vs Colorado Rockies Prediction, Oakland is coming as -115 road favorites. The Athletics are rightfully favored, as they have a better record this season, and have been dominating the Rockies in this series, who have not taken advantage of the high altitude of their home court. I don’t trust the A’s to get a third straight win in Coors, but with both struggling pitchers and a high altitude, I will gladly go over the 10 runs in this matchup.
