I’m on the Rockies here. I’m still not sold on the Royals and while both teams have been having issues as of late, I still think the Rockies are in a better spot being at home and Sugano has been the most profitable option the Rockies have had as Colorado keeps winning his starts. Give me the Rockies in this one.
