Rockies vs Athletics Prediction

The Athletics won seven of the previous ten H2H encounters, including the last three. Joey Estes struggled in his first start of the season and will be eager to bounce back, but I am not sure that he’ll have a good time at Coors Field on Sunday. The hosts are desperate for the win, and I believe they are in a position to score 5+ runs for the first time this season. Chase Dollander will have his MLB debut, and I think he will have issues in his first-ever start in the majors. The Athletics have hit the Team Total Over in 24 of their last 38 away games, while the Athletics have hit the Game Total Over in 15 of their previous 22 away games. I am going with Over.
