Guardians vs Rockies Prediction
Just a few games ago, Cleveland had a ton of momentum and they were making up ground in the Central, but they have lost four of five and don’t have their closer anymore. The Guardians are 25-26 at home this year, while the Rockies are 14-40 on the road. Colorado has played better in recent series, and they are starting Gordon, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three straight starts. Cleveland is going with Allen, who has allowed 4, 3, and 2 earned runs in his last three starts. I think Allen will have a solid day against this Colorado lineup, while Gordon will continue to roll. Take the under here.
