Rangers at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Rangers 6, Rockies 2
Moneyline
PASS.
The Rangers should be able to bounce back following a loss, and they should have the better pitcher on the mound to help them do just that. At -156, however, there’s not much value in backing them to win outright.
Run line/Against the spread
BET RANGERS -1.5 (-106).
The Rockies were able to hold down a potent Rangers offense last time out, but Texas has scored at least 10 runs in 3 of its last 7 games and tallied more than 2, which it scored Friday, in 6 straight games prior.
The Rangers are the 5th-best covering team after a loss at 10-7 ATS. The Rockies had lost 3 in a row by more than 1 run prior to this 2-game winning streak.
Expect Texas to bounce back as it has this season, and take RANGERS -1.5 (-106).
Over/Under
LEAN UNDER 10 (-110).
The Rangers have gone under the projected total in Heaney’s last 3 starts. They have allowed just 7 runs across those 3 starts.
Both teams have trended towards the Under this season with the Rangers at 18-22 O/U and the Rockies at 17-19 O/U. Colorado has gone Under in 4 of its last 7.
With those trends in mind, back UNDER 10 (-110).
