Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Colorado Rockies (11-50, 5-28 Away) finally won their first series of the season after defeating the Miami Marlins in the opening two games in Florida. Prior to this series, the Rockies had lost 23 series in a row, including the sweeps at the hands of the Cubs and Mets. In Tuesday’s 3-2 victory against the Marlins, Chase Dollander pitched for 3.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing two runs on two hits with one strikeout and three walks. Victor Vodnik was credited with the win.

Miami Marlins Betting Preview
The Miami Marlins (23-36, 14-19 Home) beat the Los Angeles Angels and lost to the San Diego Padres on the road before losing to the San Francisco Giants at home. While that series loss wasn’t surprising, losing to the Rockies surely is. Miami lost two opening games of this series, including Game 2 last night, when it was 3-2 for the Rox. Sandy Alcantara pitched for 6.0 innings in a no-decision, allowing two runs on four hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Anthony Bender took the loss.

Cal Quantrill will take the mound for the Marlins on Wednesday. The 30-year-old right-hander has a 3-5 record in 11 starts this year with a 5.84 ERA and 1.52 WHIP in 49.1 innings.

Rockies vs Marlins Prediction
The Marlins won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Rockies were better in three of the last four. Colorado has a chance to sweep a series for the first time this season, and I am backing them to do it mainly because they face a former teammate on the mound. Cal Quantrill, who played for the Rockies last season, actually improved a lot in May after a horrible April. Still, he allowed a .314 BA in 35 at-bats against the Rockies, and I think the visitors will score multiple runs off him. Kyle Freeland also saw improvement in May and is still searching for his first win of the year. This is his opportunity. Back the Rockies.
