Blue Jays vs Rockies Prediction
Colorado was able to get the blowout win as a pretty big underdog on Monday night and they will look to do it again here. The Rockies are starting Feltner, who didn’t pitch very much last year, but still had rough numbers. Toronto has scored at least five runs in three straight games and they are starting Scherzer, who will try to have a better outing than his pal Verlander, who was lit up on Monday night. I don’t think Scherzer is going to show much improvement, but I also don’t think Feltner will find much success. Take the over here.
