(MLB) St. Louis vs. Colorado,
Money Line: -108.00 Colorado (Home)
Result: Loss
Taking the ROCKIES here. These guys just keep on winning. First place in the NL West. They are now 18-8 on the road and have an average home mark! The old days, they would feast at home while being destroyed away. So here they are favored of Wainwright. As I have said in previous write ups, this guy is on the downward side of his career. The numbers don't lie. I will give him 2 nice starts in a row. But even giving up 1 run in 13.1 innings, I can't overlook a 6.37 ERA and .356 BAA and near 1.90 WHIP his first 7 starts. At 35, with 1800 innings logged on his arm, a pair of good starts is an out-lier for me, not the norm. STL treated us well in LA, but now they are heading to the Rockies. Colorado has cashed 7 of 10 and 15 of their last 21. (not counting Friday contest) - Freeland has a 2.63 ERA his last 7 starts (4-1) and holding hitters to .221 over that span. He has been solid at home so I think he gets it done tonight. 4* Money Maker COLORADO ROCKIES
