Boston Red Sox vs Colorado Rockies Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 7/23/24, 10:38 AM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/23/24 at 11:21 AM in MLB Picks

The great performance of the Red Sox in July was abruptly stopped by the Dodgers, who swept them in 3 close games and where the performance of Duran, who had 6 hits in 12 opportunities at bat, was not enough to beat the Dodgers due to the bad present of Red Sox relievers who have a 6.54 ERA in their last 10 games. The same dynamic occurred in game 1 vs Rockies in Colorado, Cora used up to 6 different relievers in 5 innings that ended up allowing 5 runs and losing the lead. Additionally, Cora will not be counting on Jansen, who has had notable and consistent performances this year, for this series due to his medical heart condition. They are then lost 4 in a row for the Red Sox but they will be solid favorites to win game 2 at Coors Field. After the Red Sox and Rockies combined for 28 hits on Monday, betting sites are predicting another high-run game, setting the total at 10.5.

Criswell for the Red Sox and Blach for the Rockies seems like a pitching duel likely to end up being a hitting feast for both teams. Both have ERAs greater than 4.50.

Blach has not pitched since June 20 against the Dodgers, who hit him a lot, giving to Blach 10 hits and 3 HRs in 4.0 IP
