The Chicago White Sox and the Colorado Rockies meet in MLB action from Coors Field on Tuesday night.
The Chicago White Sox will look to build on their series split with the Guardians after a 6-3 win over Cleveland on Sunday. Jose Abreu leads the White Sox with 11 home runs, along with 47 RBIs, 109 hits and 26 doubles while Luis Robert has a .301 batting average with 92 hits and a team-high 54 RBIs and Andrew Vaughn has 49 RBIs, a .298 batting average and 18 doubles this season. A.J. Pollock’s also added 31 RBIs and 13 doubles on the year for Chicago. Michael Kopech will start here and is 3-6 with a 3.36 ERA and 74 strikeouts this season.
The Colorado Rockies will look to build on their 2-0 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in Monday’s series finale. Entering Monday’s game, Connor Joe has 86 hits and a .257 batting average with 17 doubles, 5 home runs and 3 triples. C.J. Cron has 105 hits with 21 doubles, 2 triples, a team-high 22 home runs and 70 RBIs while Ryan McMahon has 15 doubles and Charlie Blackmon has 96 hits with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs of his own up to this point in the season for the Rockies. Randal Grichuk also has 9 home runs and 43 RBIs as well this season. Jose Iglesias also has 20 doubles of his own and a .301 batting average on the year. German Marquez will start here and is 6-7 with a 5.47 ERA and 85 strikeouts this season.
Chicago is 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 20-8 in their last 28 interleague games while the over is 3-1-1 in their last 5 series-opening games. Colorado is 7-16 in their last 23 series-opening games and 5-1 in their last 6 home games while the under is 36-17-2 in their last 55 interleague games.
I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m looking at the over. The White Sox tend to hit better on the road to begin with, but now get a favorable matchup against German Marquez who has pretty much struggled all season long. On the other hand, Michael Kopech is still having a hard time getting settled and finding himself on the hill and the environment of Coors isn’t likely to help matters. Give me the over here.
