Philadephia Phillies vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over here. Aaron Nola’s been a home run magnet for the better part of the last few years so getting him in the thin air of Coors for their home opener can only help the Rockies here in my eyes. On the other side, Michael Lorenzen’s been torched by the Phillies in his career, including in a start against them last season, and I think it could easily happen here before two shaky bullpens get their hands on this game. Give me the over.
