Free Picks, Top Plays Monday July 28 MLB: Rockies vs. Guardians
The Rockies vs. Guardians series kicks off Monday July 27. Cleveland should be priced too high in each of these games, however, do consider the Over here as the Rockies have allowed four runs in nine of their last ten games overall. In five of their last eight games they've managed to score six or more runs as well. Even if the total is 9.5, the Over could still offer some promise for Monday's game. Monitor Gambling911.com for official picks the hours leading up to each game.
Baltimore on Saturday shut out the Rockies, but the Over still came through courtesy of 18 runs scored by the Orioles.
Cedric Mullins hit his 100th career home run and 14th this season off starter Antonio Senzatela before the Orioles plated nine seventh-inning runs off two Rockies relievers.
Monday's game should be interesting as the Rockies Bradley Blalock allowed two runs with no strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Cardinals on Tuesday and one run in his previous start. Regression looks like a possibility here as he's just 1-2 with an 8.67 ERA.
Even if Blalock does pitch well, the Rockies' bullpen has been one of the worst in baseball. They've struggled with high ERAs, high walk rates, and a high number of blown saves.
Slade Cecconi was charged with two runs over six innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Orioles after surrendering five hits.
Cecconi allowed six runs in 8 1/3 innings and got the win in the Guardians’ 8-6 victory over the Athletics before that.
