The Cleveland Guardians and Colorado Rockies play the third game of their three-game series today in the Mile High City.
The Guardians have been hot recently and are going for the sweep today. After winning eight of the last 10, they currently sit just 2 1/2 games out of first place in the American League Central.
The Rockies can't get much going this season as they have a record of 27-36. That's good enough for last place in the National League West. They are 12 1/2 games out from the LA Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
"They improve to 31-27" - Dom Joseph
Pitching tonight are Triston McKenzie for the Guardians and Chad Kuhl for the Rockies.
McKenzie has been a solid starter for Cleveland. He's rocking a 3.09 ERA and averaging almost a strikeout an inning.
Kuhl is doing surprisingly well pitching at his new home of Coors Field. He has a 3.70 ERA, which is a whole point lower than last year. His numbers at the most home run-friendly ballpark in the nation are extremely impressive. He's allowed just eight runs in four starts at Coors Field.

"Jose Ramirez has more RBIs (62) than Detroit’s top 3 hitters" - MoreForYouCleveland
Both teams failed to score a run in the first inning of either of the previous two games. With two great pitchers on the hump today, there is no reason for bettors to think that trend is going to end.
No Runs in the First Inning (+128)
Cleveland Guardians vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
Teams love to come to Colorado and take advantage of the altitude. Players love how much more the ball can jump off the bat in the Mile High City. However, the Guardians have managed only one home run so far in this series and have outscored the Rockies just 11-8. Unfortunately, a sweep isn't in the Guardians' future, as the Rockies will win today to thwart off the threat.
Rockies (+114) & Under 11.5 (-115)
