Rockies at Guardians picks and predictions
Guardians 6, Rockies 4
Moneyline
There's no play here. Cleveland is the correct side, but -190 with an opener that may not go more than 2 innings isn't the way to go. 3B Jose Ramirez is hitting .342 with 4 homers, 8 doubles and 17 RBIs in 117 at-bats against lefties this season. But his H+R+RBIs line is at 2.5 (O: +115 | U: -150). So let's go with JOSE RAMIREZ OVER 0.5 RUNS (-118).
Run line/Against the spread
The GUARDIANS -1.5 (+115) is a profitable risk to take. The Rockies' last 6 losses have been by 2+ runs, and they've lost games by 6, 4 and 18 in the last 4.
Over/Under
It's slated to be 85 degrees with an 8-mph wind blowing straight in. This is a small number, though, and both games have gone way Over in this series.
I like the OVER 8 (-102) here.
