Rockies vs Athletics Prediction

The Athletics are 4-1 in their last 5 meetings against the Rockies and are 3-1 in their last 4 home meetings.

In this Rockies vs Athletics Prediction, the Athletics are coming as -170 home favorites. There is no way I’m backing the A’s as -170 favorites with Joey Estes on the mound, who has been historically terrible. Freeland has also been target practice for the Rockies with 4+ earned runs in six of his last eight starts and a horrendous 8.07 road ERA. Both teams are top-10 in hitting the opposing starter throw hand in the last 10 days and the Rockies have the worst bullpen in baseball. I expect a lot of runs, so take the over 14 in this one.
