The current betting odds have the Rangers listed as a slight favorite in this game. The Rangers have been playing a lot better lately as they have started to put together a little winning streak. They have Perez starting in this game and he has been pitching very well all season, continuing that in his recent starts as he has not been allowing many runs recently. The Rockies have Urena starting here and he has not been great this season. He allowed 3 runs in his last start and has been allowing a lot of runs in his recent starts as well. The Rockies have been scoring a lot more runs than the Rangers have been in their recent games but, this game is at Coors Field and that should open the door for more scoring from this Rangers offense. The Rangers have been playing a lot better and have been winning a lot of their games with good pitching. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rangers to win this game.
