Colorado Rockies vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
I’m looking at the over in this spot. Sugano has a 4.31 ERA and 1.29 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 23 hits and 12 earned runs in his last 21 innings. On the road, Sugano has a 4.46 ERA and a .256 allowed batting average. Bradley has a 4.11 ERA and 1.32 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 22 hits and 15 runs in his last 20.2 innings. Bradley has had real control issues lately and can’t keep the ball in the park. I expect some runs in this spot. Give me the over.
