Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins Analysis
On Thursday afternoon, the Colorado Rockies and the Miami Marlins square off for the third and final game of a three-game series. The Marlins won game one 9-8 and won game two 7-4 last night.
Miami leads the season series 3-2 and this is the final time these two teams will play this season. For this matchup, Miami is a -143 home favorite, the run line is 1.5, and the total is 8 runs.
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Rockies are currently 30-39 and they sit in last place in the NL West. Colorado is 5-5 in their last 10 games and they have outscored opponents by nine runs during this stretch.
The Rockies are 11-20 when playing away from Coors Field and they are 29-24 as an underdog on the year.
Kyle Freeland will make the start for the Rockies this afternoon in Miami. The lefty is 3-5 on the season with a 4.46 ERA, a 4.30 FIP, and a 1.40 WHIP.
The Rockies have won Freelands’ last two starts which were both against the Padres. Freeland will be taking on a Miami lineup that has a .766 OPS at home, a .616 OPS against lefties, and a .686 OPS during day games. Freeland has been shaky this season, but the Marlins really struggle against left-handed pitching.
Miami Marlins Betting Preview
The Marlins are 31-36 on the season and they sit in fourth place in the NL East. Miami is 12 games behind the Mets for first place and 3.5 games behind the Phillies for third.
The Marlins are 4-6 in their last 10 games and they have been outscored by 11 runs during that stretch. The Marlins are 17-14 at home this season and they are 10-17 covering the spread as an underdog.
Braxton Garrett will make the start for Miami tonight at home. The lefty is 1-2 on the season with a 4.85 ERA, a 1.54 WHIP, and a 4.98 FIP in three starts this year.
Garrett’s second start against the Astros was his best of the season, but he was hit hard in his other two starts. The Rockies have a .737 team OPS in day games and a .798 OPS against lefties this season.
Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins Prediction
The Marlins have been better than Colorado so far this series, but today, the matchup favors Colorado. The Marlins do not hit left-handed pitching well whatsoever and Kyle Freeland has had some good starts this year.
Braxton Garrett is an unproven pitcher and the Rockies like facing left handers. If there was a game for Colorado to win in this series, it is this afternoon. I am on a 5-1 run on MLB bets in the past 7 days, so for more best bets, take a look at my handicapper profile on Sportsmemo.
