Houston Astros vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game as the Astros are the better team but I’m not overly sure what to expect from Bolton here in the start. Either way, I think the hitter-friendly nature of Coors Field lends itself to some runs being scored in this game, so give me the over here.
