The Rockies have really struggled on the road as of late, losing their last six games in a row away from Coors Field and by 2 or more runs in each of those defeats. Their starter Noah Davis has control issues and walks a ton of hitters. This spells trouble for the Rockies, as Seattle is a patient team that will take pitches. I don’t foresee the Rock’s luck changing against Luis Castillo, who is flat nasty. I’m betting the run line at -1.5 -129. Question: Do you live bet games?
