Summary
Miami is the recommended play against Colorado, with the analyst advising bettors to avoid the Marlins if the price climbs much above -140.
Sandy Alcantara drives that pick after five straight quality starts; the right-hander is 8-4 with a 4.01 ERA and opened his season by holding the Rockies to one unearned run over seven innings.
Colorado counters with Sean Sullivan, who is 0-2 with an 8.25 ERA in three starts after allowing eight runs to the Cubs and three earned runs with five walks in his first career outing at Coors Field.
The matchup also leans Miami because the Marlins have won four of five, while the Rockies sit 33-51 with a staff ERA of 5.47 despite a relatively better 18-22 home record.
Beyond the side, the analyst called the 11.5 total tricky and instead preferred Alcantara to record 5 or more strikeouts at -116.
