The under is 4-1 in Rockies last 5 overall. The under is 4-1 in Red Sox last 5 overall. The Rockies are 2-7 in the last 9 meetings in Boston and 3-9 in the last 12 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Colorado Rockies have underachieved all season, and Connor Seabold isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to get behind with his 5.10 ERA and 1.41 WHIP. The Boston Red Sox are due for a breakthrough offensively, and James Paxton has been respectable through 26 innings, and you’d assume he’ll get better with more reps. Give me the Red Sox, and I’ll take the RL to shave the price.
