Expert Betting Tips

I'm going to bet on the under. I just don't have faith in either team's offense right now, and while Blach hasn't been all that bad, Harrison has been able to strike out a lot of batters in a relatively small number of major league starts. Give me the under in this Saturday's matchup, because I anticipate a low-scoring slopfest being played out on the field. As a result of the Colorado Rockies being the slightly better team in this match, I anticipate a close victory that will be earned through a lot of hard work.
