Texas Rangers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
Give me the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but we’ve seen a pair of high-scoring games in this series, one competitive and one not so much, but I think either way however Wednesday goes we get runs again. So give me the over.
