<p>The <strong>Miami Marlins</strong> are set to clash with the <strong>Colorado Rockies</strong> at the hitter-friendly Coors Field. The Marlins&#8217; starting pitcher, <strong>Sandy Alcantara</strong>, faces off against the Rockies&#8217; <strong>Karl Kauffmann</strong>. Despite being on the road, Miami is the favorite with a <strong>-169</strong> price. Reflecting the thin air of Denver that tends to favor hitters, the <strong>total</strong> sits at a high <strong>11</strong> in anticipation of runs aplenty.</p>
<p>The Rockies have been forced to push Kauffmann into the big leagues due to their starting rotation&#8217;s depletion. He was hit hard by the Texas Rangers in his last outing, managing to hold steady for the first three innings before a meltdown in the fourth. However, having pitched for Michigan in the College World Series, the nerves may have settled, and we could see a more composed performance from him in this game.</p>
<p>On the other side, Alcantara will take the mound for the Marlins. There&#8217;s no denying his talent, but management&#8217;s questionable decision-making around his usage has often left him on the mound an inning too long, leading to late-inning collapses. Miami&#8217;s reluctance to utilize their bullpen at critical moments might just give the Rockies a window of opportunity to clinch the game.</p>
<p>Despite the Marlins&#8217; price, backing the <strong>Rockies</strong> at <strong>+143</strong> could offer value, given the potential for late-inning twists in this game. In the thin air of Denver, expect the unexpected as both teams strive to exploit the conditions to their favor.</p>
