Colorado Rockies Betting Preview

The Colorado Rockies (7-35, 2-19 Away) ended an eight-game losing skid with a win over the Padres and also avoided being swept in that series, but returned to losing ways against the Rangers in Texas after losing the opening two games 2-1 and 4-1, respectively. Sacking manager Bud Black didn’t bring any improvements for the Rox, at least not for now. Kyle Freeland took the loss in the latest game after allowing three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and one walk in 6.0 innings.

The Texas Rangers (22-21, 14-8 Home) beat the Detroit Tigers on the road to avoid their eighth consecutive series defeat. Texas is now on a four-game winning streak after beating the Rockies in the opening two games of the current home series. In Tuesday’s 4-1 victory, Josh Jung drove in all four runs for the hosts by blasting a couple of homers, while Jack Leiter got the win after allowing one run on two hits with five strikeouts and three walks across 6.0 innings of work.

Rockies vs Rangers Prediction

The Rangers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters. Four of the last five went Under, and considering we have two of the three worst offensive teams in the MLB, I am going with another low-scoring affair. Also, the Rangers have one of the best defenses in the league. Antonio Senzatela allowed four runs in each of his last three starts, but he allowed a .176 BA in 51 at-bats against Texas in his career. Patrick Corbin, on the other hand, allowed more than two runs in just one game this year, while he allowed a .222 BA in 72 at-bats against the Rockies. Go with Under.
