Rockies at Phillies
(MLB) Rockies (COL) vs. Phillies (PHI),
Point Spread: -1.50 | -135.00 Phillies (PHI) (Home)
Result: Win
We usually don't like laying such a hefty price on the Run Line but we've seen several mismatches already and this looks another. The Phils pounded their way to a 6-1 cruise on Monday vs. the Rocks (prior to an off day on Tuesday) marking their third thumping win in four early-season tries. If that weren't bad enough for the Rocks, they have to face Zack Wheeler, who looked in midseason form during last Thursday's opener vs. the Nats, working six innings of one-run, two-hit ball. Granted, Kyle Freeland put in six solid innings of work for the Rocks in the opener at Tampa Bay, but his splits last season included a 5.98 ERA away from home and allowing 13 homers in 58 2/3 IP away from Denver (aren't Colorado pitchers supposed to look forward to pitching away from Coors Field?).
