Colorado Rockies vs Boston Red Sox Prediction.
I don’t trust Blach, and he’s going to have an even worse start here. The Red Sox are averaging 4.64 runs per game, and they are going to have no issue getting the job done here. The Red Sox are going to score at least six runs off of him here, and that is going to be the difference here, as they are going to cruise to the victory here. Back the Red Sox on the run line to cash.
