Guardians vs Rockies Prediction

The teams have traded victories in the past couple of years, each recording five in the previous ten H2H encounters. Although the opening two games of this series went Over, I am going with Under here because of the pitching matchup. Kyle Freeland has been pitching well in July, registering two quality starts out of four, and he is facing the Guardians, who have a .225 BA in 1084 at-bats against southpaws this year. Kolby Allard, on the other hand, is a reliever who has a 3.00 ERA in July and is facing the Rockies, who have a .226 BA in 908 at-bats against lefties. Go with Under.
