Rotation #912: MLB Wednesday Philadelphia Phillies Run Line -1.5 -105 vs Colorado Rockies @ 6:40 ET - The Rockies, with the extra innings loss in Philly Monday followed by the 5-0 shutout loss yesterday, have dropped to 4-14 on the season and 2-10 in road games. Colorado is now 24-69 in road games since the start of last season. They are one of the worst teams in baseball year after year when away from Coors Field. Though Monday's game was decided by a single run, the Rockies first 8 road losses this season featured 7 by a multi-run margin. The value here is on the run line as we get a pick'em price by taking the Phillies on the run line to win this game by 2 or more runs. After yesterday's 5-0 loss, the 8 road losses the Rockies have by a multi-run margin have come by an average margin of defeat of 6.3 runs! No strangers to blowout defeats away from home, the Rockies are in trouble again here. The Phillies bats have not been as strong as usual early this season but Colorado's Ryan Feltner has struggled in both of his road outings this season. The right-hander has been hammered by lefties early this season and Bryce Harper is heating up plus the Phillies have dangerous left-handed sticks in addition to Harper. Schwarber, Stott and Marsh all could be in line for doing damage against Feltner here. Since entering the league with the Rockies, Feltner is 7-15 with a 5.80 ERA! Now he faces a Phillies lineup that has underperformed so far this season but still is stacked compared to most teams and is starting to show signs of getting the sticks going! The Rockies have been held to 3 or less runs in 9 of 12 road games this season! In those 9 games they have averaged only 1.2 runs scored per game. They face a tough lefty again today after struggling against Suarez yesterday. Now Christopher Sanchez gets the start and he has been strong at home so far this season and is not allowing many hits. Just 9 hits allowed in 11 innings at home while striking out 14 in those 2 starts! He can shut down the Rockies here and Colorado's road struggles continue as Feltner again gets hit hard away from home. This is a great spot for the Phillies lineup to get rolling and the Rockies just can't keep up here. PHILADELPHIA -1.5 -105
