We have been wondering when Colorado might get an advantage, and this weekend could be the chance. It's up, up, up in altitude at Mexico City, but the adjustment for the Rockies to over 7000 feet won't be as harsh as it is for the Astros, coming in from near sea level. Of course, if altitude was such an advantage for Colorado it would be better than 7-19, but that's exactly where Houston is now too in a very disappointing start. Astros starter Roniel Blanco does have a no-hitter earlier in April, but the altitude changes the dynamics, and Cal Quantrill has been just as effective his last two starts for the Rocks. Play Rockies on Run Line (at Mexico City)
This is an absurd overreaction to one game last year. The first Mexico City game was 16-11, but it turned out they accidentally used non-humidor balls. The next game was 6-4. Coors Field is only averaging 9.5 runs per game this year. We're gonna nearly double that? With Ronel Blanco on the hill against a terrible Rockies' offense? I hate taking unders, but this line is too enticing to pass up.
