Colorado Rockies vs Houston Astros Prediction

I’m not looking to back a side in this matchup, as neither team is playing good ball and the pitching has been atrocious. I don’t expect this game to be any different, as Quintana is a dinosaur at this point and basically just an innings eater. He has a 4.15 ERA and 1.85 WHIP through 4.1 innings. Arrighetti will make his season debut and he’s somebody who has had issues with injuries. Through 35 career starts, Arrighetti has a 4.69 ERA and 1.41 WHIP with 85 walks and 202 strikeouts. Not great. Again, it’s just all bad from a pitching standpoint. I expect offense. Give me the over.
