One venerable handicapping theory that has endured thru the years is betting against a streak that just ended, be it a long win or lose skein. In the case of Cleveland tonight, it would be a go-against spot after the 9-game win streak ended on Monday. Certainly, these are different surroundings than those present during the long Cleveland uptick, namely playing games near sea level...not 5280 feet in Denver, as the case for this midweek series. Which might be an issue for starter Triston McKenzie as it was on Monday for Xzavion Curry. Ryan Feltner has been getting into the middle innings lately for the Rocks, who have also won three of four on this homestand vs. division leaders. Play Rockies on Money Line

This game is at Coors Field, which alone could be worth a couple runs. Colorado will have Ryan Feltner (5.07 ERA, 1.44 WHIP) on the mound, and Cleveland ranks third in MLB in total runs scored (269). I'm playing the over here at a very modest price.

Triston McKenzie surrendered three homers in his last start, not ideal with the wind blowing out at Coors Field tonight. But he also struck out at lest five batters for the seventh straight start while throwing a season-high 95 pitches. The Rockies strike out the fourth most times per game, and their K rate against righties translate to an average pitcher needing to face 20 batters to get to five Ks, while McKenzie has averaged over 24 batters faced per May outing. Even if homers are an issue today, he should post a similar line to his last start (5 IP, 5 K).
