I cashed with the underdog Rockies on Monday and am coming back with them as big home underdogs again today as a free play.
Boston is going through a low period having gone 0-4 since All-Star break.
This is an action play for me as I don't care for Colorado starter Ty Blach, who is 3-5 with a 5.46 ERA. Boston starter Cooper Criswell is struggling, too, with a 1-3 record and 6.94 ERA in his last five starts. He's never pitched at Coors Field.
A major problem for the Red Sox is their bullpen. It's minus closer Kenley Jansen and setup man Chris Martin. Those are Boston's two best relief pitchers. The Red Sox relief staff is terrible without those two. That was proven in last night's Rockies', 9-8, 12-inning victory when Boston's bullpen couldn't protect leads in the 10th and 12th innings.
Colorado is 9-9 in its last 18 games. The Rockies are 23-28 at home compared to 14-36 on the road. The Rockies also are riding a streak of having homered in 10 consecutive games.
So I find value in taking the Rockies at this price, against a cold Red Sox team going with a struggling starter and messed-up bullpen.
(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is 32-14 on his last 46 premium baseball plays for 70 percent. Stephen has his MLB Game of the Week heading his Tuesday betting ticket.)
