Washington Nationals vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’ll keep this one short and sweet. I love when these two teams play each other because they love to swing the sticks when they do, neither are that great and their pitchers tend to be much worse. Patrick Corbin and German Marquez are on the mound today and they have both been killed by the other squad before.
Nationals’ vs Marquez: 29/98 slashing .296/.362/.508
Rockies vs Corbin: 45/140 slashing .321/.363/.461
I am not sure who does all the scoring here, If I had to guess I would say the Rockies lead the charge but expect runs early from someone here and the bullpens shouldn’t do too much to stop the scoring after.

Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers Prediction
Let's dive into my prediction, best bet, and the odds for the Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers game.
When Paul Blackburn is on the mound, the Oakland Athletics are a very good baseball team and a profitable one to back, I did yesterday. When he is not on the mound, they are absolutely terrible and over -1000 on the money line this season already. I am not a crazy huge fan of Martin Perez and they have hit him decently before but he is dealing so far this season, coming off a great outing and they have a well-rested bullpen.
Texas has been a moneymaker for us all season long on the totals and a lot of that has come from the bats on their end and I am not surprised at all. I said in my article yesterday and some others that I love the top five or six guys in their lineup and believe that they have built up a squad that can work well together as a unit this season and they have. Oakland is 6-14 at home this year, I am backing Texas to take care of business as they did in Los Angeles last night and hopefully score plenty while doing it on this really low total.
Oakland Athletics vs Texas Rangers Best Bets
