MLB Betting Trends

Arizona

The Diamondbacks are 2-5 in their last seven road games and they have lost Kelly’s last four road starts.

Colorado

The Rockies are 3-7 in their last 10 home games and they have lost four straight following a win.

Prediction:

Kelly hasn’t had good results over the last month, losing six straight decisions while Arizona has lost his last seven starts. Not all have been on him, but he has seen his ERA grow by 0.59 in that span. Lambert hasn’t been much better. He just gave up nine runs to Houston last week and he has allowed multiple runs in nine straight starts. Both teams can hit the ball, so this should be high scoring, but I will go with the home team in a hitting contest.

MLB Prediction: Colorado Rockies -115
