The Colorado Rockies had the difficult assignment of hosting the Los Angeles Dodgers to start the 2022 season. Home cookin’ in Denver led to 2 wins for the Rockies as they were considerable underdogs for all 3 contests. If you have learned nothing from me telling you that just because the line setters tell you who they think the better team is, they are full of shit trying to set your ass up for disaster.
If you have played the Rockies 3 times this year you are enjoying the money from +200 and +185 lines in your pocket cashing outright wins instead of laying juice getting suckered every night!
Tonight, the line setters are trying to tell you the Rockies aren’t good enough to go into Arlington and beat the Rangers to start this series on Monday. Well, let’s make sure you don’t get suckered again thinking that Texas is all that and a bag of chips at 1 – 2 to start their 2022 campaign.
Colorado Rockies
It was Mission: Difficult not Mission: Impossible as most of the people who saw LA as the better team to start the 2022 season got surprised by a Rockies team ready to play baseball!
Every day this team had to get up and listen to the fact that they were underdogs again and we all know that there is nothing sweeter than outright doggies barking. The Rangers are only laying -125 on the Moneyline which means we can get Colorado for about +110 or +105 at most sites offering the early lines. As the day moves closer to 3 p.m local time in Texas, this total might be 10 and the Rockies might be the team that’s favored!
First of all, the Rockies could have easily swept the Dodgers to start the season as they just came up short on opening day only to rebound with two wins over the last two days. Having to travel over to Arlington is no big deal although this is a day game and the Rockies will be getting into Texas well after dinner time.
Regardless, this first road trip of the year couldn’t see the Rocks land a better team to face as the Rangers pitching staff is going to be suspect all season. Getting a crack at Taylor Hearn is nothing to be intimidated by and this Rockies lineup should be able to knock him out of the game before the end of the 4th inning.
The addition of Kris Bryant to the lineup was certainly going to be a good thing for the Rockies and he has found 4 hits from his first 13 AB of the season. Bud Black is happy to have him as he helped the Rockies manager earn the 1000th win of his coaching career on Sunday. C.J Cron slammed a 2-run bomb as Bryant picked up his first extra-base hit of the season propelling the Rockies to a 9 – 4 win on Sunday.
Austin Gomber is hoping to improve on his 2021 season that ended with a 9 – 9 record while recording a 4.53 ERA. Gomber missed all of September to finish the season early but he says he feels good again and the Rockies hope that’s the case.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers hit the cover off the ball this spring and it has carried over into the regular season despite the 1 – 2 record. Texas bashed out 12 runs on Sunday to get in the win column and salvage their 3-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays. Dealing with that Jays’ lineup is going to be a task for everyone this season, so getting out of Canada with one win from 3 games will have to work.
The Rangers are probably aware of how Gomber’s season ended last year and he was just giving up bomb after bomb before going down to injury. This team should be licking their chops to hit the ball tonight and the line setters are expecting just as much. Texas is listed as the favorites and this total opened at 9.5 and is headed for a straight 10 by the morning.
Taylor Hearn will make his first start of the 2022 season and he too needs to rebound from a relatively down year in 2021. Hearn was 6 – 6 with a 4.66 ERA a year ago and he lost his final 3 outings of the season in unimpressive fashion.
Sundays’ win over the Jays didn’t look so likely to happen after the Jays got up by 5 runs chasing the sweep of the opening series of the season for both teams. Corey Seager was among the highlighted players who led the comeback as this Texas lineup looks nothing like it did a year ago.
Seager and Marcus Semien will both be expected to keep up the bat work although starting pitching will be a concern as it was in the spring. Texas gave up way too many runs despite scoring as many as they did in the pre-season. Expect more runs to come throughout the season as Texas navigates the season.

Free Colorado Rockies vs. Texas Rangers MLB Prediction:
I like the Rockies as dogs again and that line might go off at closer to even money. As it stands on the overnight line, Colorado is +110 and the total is 9.5 at -115. I like both so good luck! It’s not too often we get to fade two lefties in one game but that’s the case this afternoon in Arlington!
