The Colorado Rockies and Chicago White Sox meet Tuesday in MLB action at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Colorado Rockies look for a win after winning 5 of their last 8 games. The Chicago White Sox look for a win after winning 9 of their last 12 games.
The Colorado Rockies have scored 23 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 6 straight games. The Rockies have won 5 of their last 7 games when scoring 4 or more runs. CJ Cron leads the Rockies with 138 hits and 96 RBI, while Brendan Rodgers and Jose Iglesias have combined for 258 hits and 107 RBI. Chad Kuhl gets the ball, and he is 6-8 with a 5.38 ERA and 92 strikeouts this season. This will be Kuhl’s first career game against the White Sox.
The Chicago White Sox have scored 18 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 11 games. The White Sox have won 8 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Jose Abreu leads the White Sox with 165 hits and 66 RBI, while Andrew Vaughn and Luis Robert have combined for 236 hits and 124 RBI. Michael Kopech gets the ball, and he is 4-9 with a 3.78 ERA and 102 strikeouts this season. This will be Kopech’s second career game against the Rockies.
The Rockies are 17-45 in their last 62 road games and 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The White Sox are 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 4-1 in their last 5 overall. The over is 3-1-1 in Rockies last 5 overall. The over is 4-0-1 in White Sox last 5 overall. The under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.
The Chicago White Sox need to keep winning if they're going to sneak into the playoffs, and this is a more than winnable game at home. Michael Kopech has pitched well this season, and he's pitched his best at home, where he has a 2.97 ERA and .157 allowed batting average. Chad Kuhl hasn't been good, and he's even worse on the road, with his 6.00 ERA and .284 allowed batting average. The Colorado Rockies have also been horrible on the road this season. Give me the White Sox and the RL for max betting value.
