Head To Head: Can Rockies Roll at Home?

The numbers say the Cardinals hold the higher overall record this season at 71–72 compared to Colorado's 55–87 mark. However, recent form gives the hosts a serious argument. The Rockies have won three of their past five games, averaging 5.4 runs scored and 4.6 runs allowed across that stretch. St. Louis has put up a huge 7.4 runs per game over their last five, but their pitching staff has conceded 6.6 runs per contest in that same span.

When looking for the best mlb predictions, recent head-to-head history jumps off the page with three of the last four clashes decided by three runs or fewer. Colorado took out Sunday's matchup 10–7, following a tight 7–6 Cardinals win on Saturday. Head-to-head odds currently place St. Louis as favourite at 1.71, with Colorado paying 2.15 to claim back-to-back home victories.
