Guardians vs Rockies MLB Betting Preview
The Rockies and Guardians will duke it out on Sunday afternoon to conclude a three-game interleague set at Coors Field in Colorado. Foster Griffin will make his fourth start for Cleveland, while Tomoyuki Sugano will start for Colorado.
Griffin has been great this season, with a 3.18 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across 25 outings. Meanwhile, Sugano has not been so great, running a 4.70 ERA across 119 frames.
Guardians vs Rockies Pick, Betting Analysis
Ultimately, I expect the Guardians to win this game decisively behind another stellar outing from Griffin.
I expect Jose Ramirez to be a big part of that plan.
Ramirez has already hit a home run off Sugano this season. Surely he can do it again at mile-high altitude.
Picks:
- Guardians -1.5 (-110)
- Jose Ramirez Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBIs (-230)
- Jose Ramirez Home Run (+340)
