2015 Season MLB Baseball Past Picks

Fifth straight road game for St. Louis on its trip out West. The offense has scored six runs the last three games, including a 2-0 loss at the Dodgers. Starter John Lackey is 0-2 in five road outings this season with a 4.66 ERA, and the Cardinals are 1-8 in Lackey's last nine road starts. The team is also 7-1 UNDER the total when Lackey starts, as well as 10-3-1 UNDER when the Cardinals face a right-handed starter. Colorado plays its eighth straight road game on this 10-game homestand. The Rockies are 9-4 as an underdog, plus 9-4 against a right-handed starter. It's not wise to walk batters in Coors Field, and Rockies righty David Hale has no walks in 12 innings along with seven strikeouts. St. Louis is a fine defensive team on a 19-7-1 run UNDER the total, and this total is too high. So grab the home dog in a low scoring battle. Play Colorado and the game UNDER the total.
