Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Best MLB Prop Bet

  • Eduardo Rodriguez UNDER 16.5 Outs Recorded (-144) via FanDuel

For Eduardo Rodriguez to record 17 outs, he would have to remain in the game through 5.2 innings, which I can't foresee happening in a game that has a total as high as 12.5 runs. Rodriguez has struggled on the mound this season, sporting a 5.68 ERA. He has also failed to last 5.2 innings in five of his last seven starts.

Diamondbacks vs. Rockies Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Walk-Off Wagers, I broke down why I'm rooting for runs, despite the total betting set at a high mark of 12.5:

I don't care how high the total is, I'm going to bet the OVER. The Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies are set to face off at Coors Field, and we have a pitching matchup that is sure to produce a high score. Eduardo Rodriguez (5.68 ERA) of the Diamondbacks is set to take on Bradley Blalock (7.89 ERA) of the Rockies. A pitching matchup this bad at Coors Field is a recipe for a high-scoring affair. Let's bet the OVER.

Pick: OVER 12.5 (-108)
