Rockies minus $1.43 hosting Rangers
It can be dangerous to lay a decent-size price on a bad team such as the Rockies.
But Colorado starter Jorge De La Rosa is one of the few who can pitch well at Coors Field. The southpaw isn't bothered by Coors. The Rockies are 53-13 during De La Rosa's last 66 home starts. They also have won nine of his past 11 starts.
Colorado should be fired-up after Tuesday night's 9-0 embarrassment to Texas. Before that defeat, though, the Rockies had won five in a row at Coors.
The Rangers have lost 19 of their past 27 and are 14-21 versus lefties on the season.
Colorado has good hitters and they usually perform much better at home. I can see them doing plenty of damage against Martin Perez, who is making only his second start of the year coming back from Tommy John surgery.
It often takes a pitcher an entire year to fully recover from serious elbow surgery, which Perez had to undergo in May of 2014. Perez had a rough season debut this past Friday in a loss to the Astros giving up three runs on nine hits with two walks in five innings.
I am 13-5 on my last 18 regular-season premium and free baseball plays and going for my sixth consecutive regular-season Triple Star baseball winner today. It's another early game and worthy of a 3-unit investment based on the pitching matchup, situation elements and line value.

As always, no bad luck!
