The Tampa Bay Rays and the Colorado Rockies meet Tuesday in MLB action from Coors Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Tampa Bay Rays vs. Colorado Rockies prediction.
The Tampa Bay Rays will send out Freddy Peralta for his Rays debut and Peralta is 5-9 with a 4.99 ERA and 113 strikeouts this season. Gabriel Hughes will start for Colorado here and Hughes is 0-3 with a 3.33 ERA and 21 strikeouts this season.
The Tampa Bay Rays will be out to add on to their 13-9 win over the Rockies from Monday’s matchup to sit at 66-46 this season. After this series, the Rays will head on the road for a series against the Seattle Mariners.
Entering Monday, Yandy Diaz has 125 hits with 19 doubles, a triple, 15 home runs and 63 RBIs while Chandler Simpson has 113 hits with 6 triples and 20 RBIs. Nick Fortes has 67 hits with 14 doubles, 4 home runs and 28 RBIs and Jonathan Aranda has 112 hits with 18 doubles, 14 homers and 65 RBIs. Junior Caminero’s also added 118 hits with 18 doubles, 30 home runs and 66 RBIs.
The Colorado Rockies come into this game looking to bounce back from their loss at the hands of Tampa Bay on Monday to sit at 45-68 this season. After this series, the Rockies will head on the road for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Going into Monday, TJ Rumfield has 115 hits with 23 doubles, 2 triples, 13 home runs and 58 RBIs while Ezequiel Tovar has 67 hits with 18 doubles, 8 home runs and 35 RBIs. Hunter Goodman’s added 99 hits with 16 doubles, 33 home runs and 65 RBIs. Troy Johnston has 88 hits with 24 doubles, 3 home runs and 41 RBIs. Willi Castro also has 88 hits with 15 doubles, 12 home runs and 46 RBIs.
I’m on the Rockies here. I think that Hughes is one of the brighter pieces in this Rockies rotation coming up and I look for him to have a solid outing here. Peralta struggled at the best of times on the road with the Mets and going to Coors, I think he has issues here. Give me Colorado.
