The Colorado Rockies and Boston Red Sox meet Wednesday in MLB action at Fenway Park. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Colorado Rockies have scored 16 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 8 games. The Rockies have split their last 10 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Ryan McMahon leads the Rockies with 64 hits and 37 RBI, while Elias Diaz and Jurickson Profar have combined for 120 hits and 59 RBI. Austin Gomber gets the ball, and he is 4-5 with a 7.57 ERA and 39 strikeouts this season. This will be Gomber’s first career game against the Red Sox.
Boston Red Sox Betting Preview
The Boston Red Sox have scored 12 runs in their last 3 games and 3 or fewer runs in 9 of their last 11 games. The Red Sox have lost 8 of their last 10 games when scoring 3 or fewer runs.

Garrett Whitlock gets the ball, and he is 3-2 with a 4.78 ERA and 26 strikeouts this season. This will be Whitlock’s first career game against the Rockies.
Trends
The Rockies are 7-19 in their last 26 Wednesday games and 35-74 in their last 109 road games. The Red Sox are 3-7 in their last 10 Wednesday games and 3-7 in their last 10 overall. The under is 5-1 in Rockies last 6 overall. The under is 4-0 in Red Sox last 4 overall. The Rockies are 3-7 in the last 10 meetings in Boston and 4-9 in the last 13 meetings.
Randy’s Pick
The Boston Red Sox are at home, and they have an edge on the mound as Austin Gomber has been a complete mess with his 7.57 ERA and 1.75 WHIP. However, let’s not act like Garrett Whitlock is a CY Young candidate. Also, the Red Sox have had issues stringing together offense over the last two weeks. We’re getting almost two times our money to fade a struggling offensive club in the Red Sox. I’ll take a shot with the road dog.
