Steep line on the home chalk here, but this is a mismatch on the diamond. Colorado is on a 7-17 run, and opened this road trip with a 12-4 loss at Tampa Bay yesterday. The pitching is 29th in ERA (5.57) and WHIP, while the bullpen is 26th (5.14 ERA). Batters are hitting .296 off starter Austin Gomber (5.52 ERA) and the Rockies are 2-26 as an underdog of +200 or higher. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay is seventh in ERA (3.89) and second in WHIP, while the offense is fourth in runs scored and on-base percentage. Aaron Civale (2.44 ERA) is on the mound with batters hitting just .229 off him. The Rays are 78-30 as chalk of -150 or higher, and 58-19 as a home favorite of -150 or more. Make it a Max Play on Tampa Bay.
