Rockies vs Athletics Prediction

The Reds are 4-2 in their last 6 meetings against the Dbacks and have won their last three meetings in Cincinnati.

In this Rockies vs Athletics Prediction, the Athletics are coming as -200 home favorites. The Athletics are coming as huge favorites in this matchup and even though the lines feels too high, I would still lay the runline with them. Jump has given up just one run in his last two starts this season and the Rockies have been terrible against southpaws. On top of that, the A’s have a better bullpen and have been in good form, coming off a series win against the Brewers. Take the A’s on the runline.
