Colorado Rockies vs Baltimore Orioles Prediction

The Baltimore Orioles have been in a funk offensively this week and a trip to Coors is just what the doctor ordered. This Orioles’ lineup should have a field day in Coors, and Albert Suarez has been solid enough as a pitcher to trust in a hitters park. The Colorado Rockies have nothing to play for at this stage and despite the recent surge offensively, I’m not running to the window to back them. This is a chance for the Orioles to steal some Games in the standings after some hard fought series. Give me the O’s and the RL for max betting value.
