Colorado Rockies vs Miami Marlins Prediction: Rockies will turn things around

Thursday's Major League Baseball action at Coors Field features a matchup between the Miami Marlins and the Colorado Rockies.

The Colorado Rockies have scored at least four runs in seven of their last 11 games, including a season-high 12 runs in their most recent three games. When scoring four or more runs in a game, the Rockies have won seven of their last nine contests. Elias Diaz has a team-high 49 hits and is in first place for the Rockies in RBI with 25, while Kris Bryant and Charlie Blackmon have combined for 93 hits and 35 RBI. The Rockies have a record of 4-0 in their previous four games played on Thursday and 5-1 in their last six games played at home. In the Rockies' last eight games at home, the total has gone under 6-2 times.

The Miami Marlins have scored at least four runs in six of their previous nine games, including a total of 17 runs in their most recent three games. The Marlins have a record of 4 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws in their last 8 games when scoring 4 runs or more. Luis Arraez, who has 62 hits and 16 runs batted in, is the Marlins' leading player. Bryan De La Cruz and Jorge Soler have a combined 92 hits and 47 runs batted in for the team. The Miami Marlins have a record of 1-4 in their last 5 games played away from home, but they have a record of 7-2 in their previous 9 games played on Thursday. In the Miami Marlins' last seven games, under has a record of 5-1-1.

With their recent offensive comeback, the Miami Marlins are the superior team and should be favored. The ball tends to even out in Coors Field because of the high altitude. Furthermore, one could contend that Kyle Freeland, not Braxton Garrett, has been the superior pitcher this year. The rookie pitcher, Garrett, has struggled recently, allowing 16 runs in 21 innings. I'm going to give the house dog a try.
