Nationals at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 7, Nationals 6

Moneyline

BET ROCKIES (-145).

Colorado has lost 4 straight games, but those losses were against much better competition in the Dodgers and Padres. Washington has struggled against lefties in recent contests and is 14-42 in its last 56 vs. left-handed starters. Look for Gray to struggle once again as he faces the Rockies in their home opener.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Washington has not lost by multiple runs in any of its last 4 meetings vs. Colorado. Nationals +1.5 (-155) should hit Thursday, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Rockies moneyline is the better play. Bet Rockies moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

BET OVER 11 (-105).

The Over is 8-3-1 in Washington’s last 12 games and 7-2-2 in its last 11 vs. left-handed starters.

The Over has hit in 12 of the last 17 meetings between these teams in Colorado and should hit again Thursday as the Rockies’ offense bounces back offensively at home after scoring just 2 runs last time out.

The Nationals have won 2 road series but are 6-6 on the road. They have won 3 of their last 5 games, all on the road, but they are 3-10 in their last 13 outings.

The Rockies are 8-7 ATS at home this season.

This is my favorite bet because of the payout for the second game in a row.

Take the ROCKIES -1.5 (+133).

Over/Under

Nine of the Rockies’ 14 home games this season have had more than 10 runs. All 4 of Senzatela’s starts this season have had more than 10 runs.

The series opener had 12 total runs.

Four of the Nationals’ last 5 games have had more than 10 runs.

Take OVER 10.5 (-115).

Nationals at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 7, Nationals 3

Money line

The Nationals have been surprisingly decent on the road early on in the season, going 6-5. They have taken 3 of 4 games on the road in the NL West so far.

But the Rockies are tied for the second-most home wins in the majors. They have not lost consecutive games there yet. Plus, if Corbin continues to trend toward a bad start following a good start, he is due a rough start.

Take the ROCKIES (-145).

Eight of the Rockies’ 13 wins this season are by 2 runs or more. Thirteen of the Nationals’ 16 losses have been by more than 1 run.

The Rockies are 7-7 ATS at home this season.

The Nationals are 6-5 ATS on the road. All 5 of their road losses have been by at least 2 runs.

Since I expect a Rockies’ win, this is the best bet to take for the game because of the payout. Take ROCKIES -1.5 (+130).

Over/Under

Eight of the Rockies’ 13 home games this season have had more than 10 runs.

The series opener had 12 total runs.

Only 1 of Corbin’s starts this season has had more than 10 runs. None of Gomber’s have had more than 10.

Take UNDER 10.5 (-205).
