Mariners vs. Rockies Prediction
I’m on the Rockies in both games here. I think at worst, you end up with a split here and the Rockies are likely going to be decent-sized underdogs in both so it’ll only take one win to come out with some profit but the Mariners still struggle with the strikeout against right-handed pitchers and I don’t expect that to go away all of a sudden. Colorado’s offense can disappear at the blink of an eye, but I think this is a spot where the Rockies can drum up some runs at home and be competitive. Give me Colorado here.
