Boston Red Sox vs Colorado Rockies Prediction & Picks : Expert MLB Betting Guide

The bet on the Colorado Rockies is driven by the statistical edge identified in the model prediction and the team's recent performance. Despite the Red Sox's strong home record, the Rockies have shown resilience, especially in their defensive play. Their overall runs allowed average over the last five games (3.2) is slightly better than the Red Sox's (2.8), indicating a strong defense. Additionally, the Rockies' model prediction of 0.42 and a model edge of 7.3% suggest a significant potential for an upset. While the Red Sox have scored more runs on average, the Rockies' lower runs allowed average could neutralize this advantage. This, combined with the implied probability of 34.6% and favorable decimal odds of 2.89, makes a bet on the Rockies a statistically sound choice.
