Rockies vs Phillies prediction
Austin Gomber has been respectable in his last 2 starts, allowing 4 runs in his last 10 innings and striking out 11. The problem is the Rockies are terrible offensively and remain on the fade list until further notice. The Phillies are showing signs of putting things together, and Ranger Suarez has been sharp through 17 innings, allowing 5 runs and striking out 19. There’s really only one way to go here, and that’s to side with the Phillies. The Rockies have been dreadful through 17 Games. Give me the Phillies and the RL for max betting value.
