Colorado Rockies Betting Preview

The Colorado Rockies (7-33, 2-17 Away) were on an eight-game losing streak after losing to the Giants, being swept by the Tigers, and losing two opening games of the series against the Padres. Following a 21-0 defeat, Colorado fired manager Bud Black, and the Rockies won the very next game, defeating the Padres 9-3 to avoid another sweep. Hunter Goodman led the offense with five RBI in the best offensive display of his career, while German Marquez finally got his first win of the season after allowing one run on three hits with two strikeouts and one walk across 7.0 innings of work.

This season, the Rockies average 3.33 runs per game (9th in the MLB) on a .219/.286/.360 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 5.77 ERA (30th) and 1.60 WHIP (30th). Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with a .288 batting average, six home runs, and 24 RBI this season.

Chase Dollander will take the mound for the Rockies on Monday. The 23-year-old right-hander has a 2-3 record in six starts this year with a 7.71 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in 28.0 innings.

Texas Rangers Betting Preview

The Texas Rangers (20-21, 12-8 Home) lost six consecutive series, losing to the Dodgers, Athletics (twice), Giants, Mariners, and Red Sox, but managed to win the latest series against the Tigers on the road. After losing Game 1, Texas won the next two games 10-3 and 6-1. Marcus Semien and Josh Jung led the team with two RBI apiece, while Nathan Eovaldi got the win after allowing no runs on two hits with seven strikeouts and one walk in 7.0 innings.

This year, the Rangers average 3.41 runs per game (26th in the MLB) on a .233/.291/.371 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rangers’ staff has a 3.40 ERA (6th) and 1.15 WHIP (3rd). Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers with a .225 batting average, five home runs, and 22 RBI this season.

Rockies vs Rangers Prediction

The Rockies won six of the previous ten H2H encounters. Although eight of Colorado’s last ten games went Over, it was due to their recent games being played at Coors Field, but when on the road, the games tend to be low-scoring. We have two of the worst five offensive teams in the MLB, and I don’t think they will combine for more than eight runs here. Tyler Mahle has been sensational so far; he hasn’t allowed more than two runs in a game this year and will dominate the Rockies. Chase Dollander will likely surrender multiple runs, but believe it or not, the Rockies’ bullpen is actually better than the Rangers’, so they should limit the inefficient hosts late on. Go with Under.
