Marlins vs Rockies Prediction
Lorenzen is capable of a solid showing and was an all-star once, but he’s also hittable at times. Lorenzen had a 5.56 ERA and .281 allowed batting average in 77.2 road innings last season. I like the direction the Marlins are heading and believe they’ll be in the thick of the wild card race this season. Perez is one of the best young pitchers in baseball and this should be a breakout season. The Rockies couldn’t get anything going yesterday. I doubt that changes here against Perez. Give me the Marlins and the RL for max betting value.
