Rockies at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 4, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s just not a ton to love here. The White Sox (-190) are too expensive on the moneyline, costing almost double your potential return. The Rockies, who have lost the first 2 games and have the pitching disadvantage, should be avoided on the moneyline as well.

Run line/Against the spread

BET WHITE SOX -1.5 (+114).

The White Sox are 12-11 ATS following a win this season and have a top starting option on the mound Sunday. They have won 3 straight and covered in each, while the Rockies are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games.

Colorado has been the 5th-worst covering team on the road at just 19-23 ATS, and it is the 4th-worst team at covering as an underdog at 38-44 ATS.

While the White Sox haven’t been much better on the season, they are the hotter side and have the better starting pitcher. With that in mind, back WHITE SOX -1.5 (+114).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-112).

Over their last 6 games, the White Sox have gone Under 5 times, been held scoreless twice, and put up 1 run or fewer on 3 separate occasions. Chicago is 37-44-4 O/U on the season.

The Rockies are 1-3-1 O/U and have scored 3 runs or fewer in their last 5 games. Their offense has been non-existent as of late. The Rockies have gone Under in Freeland’s last 2 starts. Back UNDER 7.5 (-112).

Colorado Rockies at Chicago White Sox odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado Rockies (61-80) take on the Chicago White Sox (72-69) Tuesday in the opener of a 2-game set at Guaranteed Rate Field. First pitch is set for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. White Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 1-1

Colorado had a 4-game winning streak snapped at home Sunday with a 12-6 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. They found ways to win 4-1 games as well as 13-10 games, and they’ll need that in another hitters’ park in Chicago. Colorado is 40-36 at home but just 21-46 on the road.

Chicago had its 4-game winning streak snapped Sunday as well, and they’ve been playing much better baseball finally. The Pale Hose are 7-3 over the last 10 after toiling at or below the .500 mark for much of the season. They are 3 games back from the AL Central division-leading Cleveland Guardians.

Rockies at White Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 5, Rockies 4

Money line

Neither pitcher has been very good, but I’m going to give the slight edge to Kopech, who has ace stuff and Triple-A command. This matchup is much closer than the -200 odds for the White Sox would indicate as they’re 34-36 at home this season. I still don’t see enough to take the ‘dogs here, though.

Kuhl has allowed 3 ER or more in 9 straight starts. Take the WHITE SOX OVER 2.5 TOTAL RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-102).

Run line/Against the spread

Each team won their respective game by 1 run earlier in the season. The White Sox are a brutal 28-42 on the RL at home. I’m siding with the Rockies on the RL, but I see one that gives me a ton of confidence.

Dating back to Aug. 5, 13 of Chicago’s last 19 wins have been by 2 runs or fewer. It’s chalky, but it feels like a lock. Take the ROCKIES ALTERNATE SPREAD +2.5 (-190).

Over/Under

The White Sox are 4-0-1 O/U over the last 5 games, and Colorado is 3-1-1. The starters are probably going to allow 6 themselves, and we’ll need a couple from the bullpen to cash. I’m with that, and the books feel it, too.

Take the OVER 7.5 (-130).
