MLB Odds/Point Spread: Denver Broncos -6, Total Odds: 37
In the first two weeks of the preseason, the Rams’ defense exposed a lot of holes and a lack of depth. Give me Denver to win and cover a six-point spread in front of the home crowd because many anticipate the Broncos to maintain their excellent running game. The Rams need to rely on Stetson Bennett’s arm because the Broncos’ rush defense did a fantastic job so far. While Bennett is still attempting to establish some rapport with his new colleagues, putting all your faith in the Rams’ receiving group makes it difficult to keep the team afloat for 60 minutes. The Rams are 0-4 SU and ATS in their past four preseason games.
