Colorado Rockies vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction
Colorado was able to get the win in game two of this series on Saturday and they will look to play spoiler and pickup another win here. The Orioles are in a very tight race with the Yankees in the AL East, so every game is very important. Baltimore is 39-29 on the road, while Colorado is 32-36 at home. Colorado plays their best baseball at home and they will start Cal Quantrill, who has not been very good over the last few starts. Baltimore is expected to activate Zach Eflin off of the IL for this game, and he has been very good since joining the team last month. The Rockies are a very solid home team, especially when you consider how they play on the road, and I think they have a ton of value to steal another game here. Take the Rockies to get the win.
