The Colorado Rockies and Detroit Tigers face off on Sunday in an interleague MLB showdown at Comerica Park. The two teams split a doubleheader on Saturday. The Tigers won the first game 13-0, while the Rockies came out on top 3-2 in the second game.
The Rockies currently sit with a 9-5 record overall and they have won three of their last five games. There has to be a bit of concern for the Rockies though after scoring only three runs on Saturday. Overall this season the Rockies' offense has been good, and they need to be better again in this game. The top offensive player for the Rockies has been CJ Cron who has hit six home runs and added 16 RBIs.
On the other side of this matchup is the Detroit Tigers who sit with a 6-8 record overall, and they have won two of their last three games. In their 13 run game on Saturday, there were five different players who drove in at least two runs. Spencer Torkelson has been the top player for the Tigers overall this year hitting three home runs and driving in eight RBIs.
On the mound for the Rockies will be Chad Kuhl who has been impressive to start the season. In his last start against the Phillies he went six innings giving up two hits and zero runs.
Getting the start for the Tigers will be Tyler Alexander who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 4.26. In 6.1 innings he has given up five runs.
The Tigers are 1-4 in their last five home games. The under is 5-0 in the Tiger's last five games against the National League West. The over is 4-0-1 in the Rockies' last five games during game 3 of a series. The under is 5-0 in Alexander’s last five starts on grass.
The Rockies have a big advantage on the mound, and I don’t see the Rockies finding a whole lot of offensive success in this game. Look for Colorado to give Kuhl plenty of run support too and that will be the difference in this game as the Rockies get the job done. Back the Rockies on the money line.
