Colorado Rockies vs. Houston Astros Prediction
I’m on the Rockies here. I just think that Houston is in a position where they shouldn’t be favored against anyone right now and I think part of this price is Colorado’s stigma that this team can’t hit on the road. Granted, the Rockies didn’t do anything to oppose that argument in the series against the Padres, but I still think they have more than enough here to upset the Astros at a solid price. Give me Colorado.
