Colorado Rockies vs Texas Rangers. The MLB pick for this game is the Texas Rangers. Four of the last six matches and seven of their previous ten at home were victories for the Rangers.
They scored 19 runs in their previous three home games, demonstrating solid offensive play.
Since they performed well offensively against right-handers this season and Seabold struggled on the mound, giving up ten runs in his previous three outings, the Rangers will be difficult to contain in this game.
The Rockies split their previous four away games and dropped two of their last three games. They scored 16 runs in their previous three away games, demonstrating strong attacking play.
But given that they had difficulties scoring against left-handed pitchers and that Heaney pitched well lately, allowing only four earned runs in his previous two outings, they will have trouble stopping Colorado’s attack in this game.
To cover the money line, choose Texas. The Texas Rangers will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
