Prediction
Rockies 10, Angels 7
Moneyline (ML)
The ROCKIES (+135) are worth investigating Sunday in the interleague series finale. This game has the chance to be one of those typical Coors Field battles which resemble a beer-league softball contest.
New to sports betting? A winning $10 bet on Colorado returns a profit of $13.50, while a $10 wager on Los Angeles (-150) nets a profit of $6.70 if it wins.
Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The ROCKIES (+1.5, -110) are a decent value if you’re not feeling the home side to win outright. This has the makings of a wild one.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 13 (-106) seems like such a high number, but Sunday could be one of those high-scoring slugfests. Heaney is awful on the road, and Castellani has struggled at home. It has the ingredients for a conga line around the base paths.
