Brenton Doyle to score a run is sitting at +188 on BetRivers, which is tremendous value. The odds are sitting around +140 to +155 on other books.
While the Rockies are admittedly a dumpster fire, getting their leadoff hitter at +188 to score a run is almost always going to be a good bet.
Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen is a quality pitcher, but he has had issues with hard contact and walks at times this season. The Rockies should be able to scratch a few runs across.
The +188 line calculated out to 7.14% expected value when combined with all other available sportsbooks at the time I placed this bet.
Pick: Brenton Doyle Over 0.5 Runs Scored (+188)
Moneyline
I have no bet on the moneyline.
