Stay on top of the latest MLB news and betting notes<\/a> from Vegas!<\/em><\/p>\n The Cleveland Guardians pay a visit to Coors Field to play the Colorado Rockies in the first of a three game series. Shane Bieber (3-3, 2.91 ERA) takes the bump against Antonio Senzatela (2-3, 4.83 ERA) in a battle of right-handed pitchers.<\/p>\n Cleveland won two of three against the Rangers and three of four against the A’s last week at home. The Rockies finished a successful seven game road trip where they won two of three from the Giants, and split four games with the Padres.<\/p>\n The line opened with Cleveland as the road favorite at -135 and Colorado as the home dog at +115. Since then it’s gone up to -160\/+150 with the over\/under at 11 runs.<\/p>\n Shane Bieber is pitching like one of the best hurlers in baseball. In 11 starts and 65.0 innings, he has a 2.91 ERA, a 1.13 WHIP along with 68 strikeouts – that’s 9.4 Ks per nine innings of work. His control has been excellent as he’s only given up 16 walks and four home runs.<\/p>\n The Cleveland lineup has done their part this year, especially against right-handed pitching, with a 10th best OPS of .726 and a team average of .255. The G’s are also 8th in runs scored, 8th in hits and 10th in batting average.<\/p>\n After a rough first several weeks to the season, Senzatela and the Rockies pitching staff looks like they’ve figured things out.<\/p>\n In the last seven games, Colorado only gave up more than three runs one time, which means even the bullpen has gotten better – at least on the road. We’ll see how they perform back at the launching pad I call Coors Canaveral.<\/p>\n Senzatela’s last start was a good one in San Francisco going 6.0 innings, giving up six hits, one walk and no earned runs. One game doesn’t make a trend, but it was encouraging for the Rox to see him pitch like he’s capable of.<\/p>\n The Rox hitting has regressed in the last couple of weeks, as they have a 14th best OPS of .708 and a 4th best team average of .257. They’re also 4th in hits and 10th in runs scored. and tied for 22nd in home runs with the Pirates.<\/p>\n The Rockies are coming off a seven-game road trip, and it’s usually a fade situation for the first home game back. And the Guardians are hitting the ball well, especially against righties like Senzatela.<\/p>\n The starting pitching matchup favors Bieber as he can miss more bats than Senza, and there’s a good chance he’ll pitch into the sixth or seventh inning.<\/p>\n The G’s have a much better bullpen, with a 4th best 2.98 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, compared to the Rockies’ 29th best relief corps ERA.<\/p>\n Colorado’s best reliever, Tyler Kinley, was just placed on the 15-day IL – and he’s probably the only Rockies reliever I really trust.<\/p>\n Starting pitching is the key in this game, and I don’t want to take the risk of a full game side where a bullpen could blow up. We’re also getting a better price on this wager, so I’ll lean to Cleveland on the 1st 5 innings run line (-0.5).<\/p>\n Prediction: Cleveland 1st 5 innings Run Line<\/strong><\/p>\n Join Drew Martin and a rotating panel of guests for First Pitch every weekday at 1:45pm ET \/ 10:45am PT as we discuss the baseball betting slate.<\/p>\n\n\n
