MLB Betting FAQ
Why are Rockies home games so high-scoring?
Coors Field sits at 5,200 feet elevation. Thin air reduces drag on the baseball, increasing carry distance and run scoring. The result: Rockies home totals are routinely 11.5 to 13.5 runs, well above the MLB average.
Does wind direction really matter at Coors?
Yes. Wind blowing out at Coors pushes already-elevated totals further over. Wind blowing in can be the single biggest reason to fade an over. Check wind data on the morning of a Rockies home game.
What is the run line?
The run line is the MLB spread, almost always set at -1.5/+1.5 runs. Favorite wins by 2+ runs to cash -1.5; underdog wins outright or loses by 1 to cash +1.5.
When should I bet a Rockies game?
Bet Rockies home overs early in the day, before public money pushes the total up. For Rockies road games, take the under and the +1.5 run line; the Rockies historically underperform on the road.
