Analyzing Sunday’s Chicago White Sox at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Chicago White Sox (48-75) and Colorado Rockies (48-75) close out a 3-game set at Coors Field Sunday. First pitch is at 3:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the White Sox vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rockies lead 2-0

The White Sox have been decimated in the first 2 games of this series by scores of 11-5 Saturday and 14-1 Friday. They are just 3-7 over the last 10 and 10-20 over the last 30 games as they look toward next season. They are also just 12-24 in interleague play.

While the Rockies have looked dominant in the first 2 games, they are just 3-7 over their last 10 as well. They play better at home at 28-32 as opposed to 20-43 on the road. Colorado and the White Sox are tied for the 3rd-worst record in baseball.

White Sox at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 6, Rockies 5

Moneyline

This will be Cease’s first attempt to master the Mile High air, and he has struggled with command. He led baseball with 78 walks last season and is on pace to surpass that with 61 thus far. That said, I believe he has enough stuff to get past the Rockies bats and salvage a game in this series. However, I’m not paying -155 on this team on the road.

Instead, look to the Win/Total section and take the WHITE SOX AND OVER 5.5 (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

Flexen has allowed 35 ER in 32 IP over his last 7 starts, and Cease has some of the best stuff in the game. So it’s hard for me to feel comfortable taking the Rockies to cover here.

PASS.

Over/Under

The first 2 games went way Over, but the Over is just 4-6 over the last 10 meetings between the teams. Eight of those 10 meetings were at Coors. Can we see 12 runs in this one? Absolutely. Is it a good bet? Negative.

With how wild Cease has been and how awful Flexen has displayed, I’d rather take OVER 5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-175). It’s chalky, but we should have at least a 3-2 score after 5.

White Sox at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 8, Rockies 5

Money line

The WHITE SOX (-140) are a decent play as a moderate favorite against the struggling Rockies. Chicago has fared well against NL teams this season, and Giolito has at least held his own, especially on the road.

Senzatela has won just once in his last 10 starts dating back to April 29, and he has allowed 3 or more ER in 3 straight outings, and 6 of his last 9 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

The WHITE SOX -1.5 (+105) are a better play on the run line at plus money. Chicago won 2-1 in a well-pitched series opener Tuesday, but this game should have a lot more offense for both sides.

Over/Under

The OVER 11.5 (-122) is the lean in this interleague series finale. Even though the Under hit Tuesday, the Over is 4-1-2 in the last 7 games for the Pale Hose.

The Over has cashed in 5 of the previous 6 outings for the Rockies against winning teams. The Over is 2-0 in the past 2 starts for Senzatela, and 10-4 in his 14 starts this season.
