In this Marlins vs Rockies Prediction, the Marlins are coming as -160 road favorites. The Marlins have been red-hot lately with a 10-2 record in their last 12 games and they destroyed the Rockies yesterday by 14-3. I like them once again today with Max Meyer on the mound, who has won his last seven starts and has given up two runs or less in seven of his last eight starts. He will go up against a struggling Kyle Freeland and his 7.50 ERA and 1.61 WHIP, while the Marlins have the 5th-best bullpen in baseball, while the Rockies are third to last. Take the Marlins in this one.
