Money line (ML)
The Rockies are the worst road team in the major leagues at 5-27. They are 1-2 in three road games Freeland has started.
The Mariners have won four games in a row and seven of their last eight. They are coming off a four-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays.
As bad as the Rockies have been on the road, it doesn’t make sense to bet them to win outright.
Take the MARINERS (-160).
