The Tampa Bay Rays and the Colorado Rockies meet Wednesday 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 Nick Martinez for the start here and Martinez is 10-3 with a 2.77 ERA and 69 strikeouts this season. Tomoyuki Sugano will start for the Rockies and is 11-4 with a 4.47 ERA and 58 strikeouts this season.
The Tampa Bay Rays come into this game looking to add on to their 9-7 win over the Rockies from Tuesday to improve to 67-46 this season. After this series, the Rays will head on the road for a series against the Seattle Mariners.
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 Tuesday to sit at 45-69 this season. After this series, the Rockies will head on the road for a series against the St. Louis Cardinals.
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 backing the Rockies here. The question for a while was how long can Nick Martinez keep pitching as well as he has for much of the season and we got that answer in his last start as he gave up 6 runs and 4 home runs total. Colorado has somehow found ways to win games left and right with Sugano as the starter, and I think that the Rockies keep up the winning ways in this one. Give me Colorado.
