MLB | Cardinals vs Rockies
Play on: Rockies -103 at linepros
FREE PICK - Colorado Rockies -103
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 912
I'm going to take my chances with the Rockies at basically even money at home against the Cardinals on Saturday. It's hard to not like Colorado at this price with how well this team plays at home. Going into Friday's game, they had won 4 straight at home and are 29-16 at home this season (Giants have best record in NL right now and are 26-11 at home).
On top of that, I think the Rockies have a clear-cut edge on the mound when it comes to the starters. Kyle Freeland will go for Colorado. He's got a poor 6.54 ERA and 1.800 WHIP in 7 starts. However, his 4.83 xFIP suggests he's actually pitched better than his numbers so far. He's also coming in off two great starts. He allowed just 1 run in 6 innings at Seattle and then threw 5 shutout innings at home against the Pirates in his last start.
The Cardinals will counter with Wade LeBlanc. He's going to be making his second start for St. Louis since he was acquired (prev. with Orioles). While he did only give up 1 run in 4 1/3 innings in his first start for St. Louis, he was lucky the homer he allowed was a solo and he only had 2 K's. He's the kind of guy I think will struggle to pitch well at Coors. Give me the Rockies -103!
*Freeland has made 5 career starts at Coors Field in his big league career. In those 5 starts, he's given up 20 runs in 26 1/3 innings.
