Colorado Rockies Struggle on the Road Against Detroit Tigers, Tigers Favored at -1.5 Run Line

The Colorado Rockies have struggled in road games this season, particularly following a game in which they allowed ten or more runs. In three out of the four matches, the opposing team has covered a -1.5 run line against the Rockies. The Detroit Tigers have also been successful in covering a -1.5 run line in their last three home meetings with Colorado. Additionally, the Tigers have a record of 9-4 against the run line versus the National League West this season. As the Tigers strive for the final wild card position, they are determined to secure a decisive victory over the Rockies. Considering these factors, I recommend taking the Tigers at -1.5 in the upcoming game.
