Expert Betting Tips
The Rockies might have fewer possibilities of winning this game, but they are a side to consider. While the Tampa Bay Rays have shown they dominate this fixture, their inability to easily dictate this fixture will be a big issue to deal with here. This will not be an easy encounter for either team, but I will back the Rockies to win the line in this offence-focused opener.
