Red Sox vs Rockies Prediction
The Rockies haven’t won two straight games since June 17-18, and Gomber has a 5.49 ERA and 1.53 WHIP in 19.2 innings this season. No, thanks. The Red Sox are coming off a strong week, and Fitts has been better in his last two starts, allowing six hits and three runs in his last seven innings. Backing the Rockies just isn’t an option this season. The Red Sox should have a field day offensively with Gomber on the mound. Give me the home team.
