Miami Marlins vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. Sandy Alcantara’s in great form, but Coors Field is a tough place to go on the road and pitch and I think he could have some issues in this game when all is said and done. It’ll be interesting to see who the Rockies send out here, but I think we cash the over in this one as both teams have been hitting well as of late.
