Chicago White Sox vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

I might take a stab on the Sox here. Probably staying away, though. Both starters could use a good showing. Cannon is coming off five earned in one inning during a loss to Detroit on June 23. Prior to that however, Cannon was pitching well with one earned in 15.2 frames. As for Quantrill, he’s been okay but not great with six earned over his last 11.0 innings.

On Friday the Sox got a great effort on the mound from the four different arms. The pen came in with 3.0 frames and one earned. Chicago will have a great shot Saturday if they can keep that going.
