Money line (ML)
Colorado and Miami split the first two games of this series.
Colorado has had its woes in creating offense away from Coors Field. The Rockies' anemic .565 road OPS ranks last in MLB.
Some of that is BABIP related (Colorado has a .272 BABIP away from home). Some of it is poor performance in high-leverage situations and some of it is schedule-related as the Rockies have played a tough slate with regard to pitching faced.
Add in the assessment that Rogers is good but not sub-2.00 ERA good. BACK THE ROCKIES (+180).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
TAG THE ROCKIES +1.5 (-120) with a slight lean. The run line isn't loaded with house edge and can give bettors who want more security just that.
Over/Under (O/U)
PASS with too many conflicting play/fade signals to parse.
