Rockies vs Red Sox Prediction 
Boston comes into this series after sweeping the Nationals over the weekend and they have to take advantage of playing a lesser team here. The Red Sox are 25-20 at home this year, while the Rockies are 11-33 on the road. Colorado did get a win on Sunday afternoon, but they have been one of the worst teams in baseball all year. Boston is starting Fitts, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last five starts, but doesn’t go very deep into games. Colorado is starting Gomber, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his last four starts. We know Fitts won’t go more than four innings most likely, but I still like Boston -1.5 here.
