In Game 2 of this series played yesterday the Rangers beat the Rockies 5-2 getting to the bullpen for three runs to get the victory.

Rockies at Rangers Prediction 6/17/18

Neither squad is playing well right now with the Rockies losers of seven of nine and the Rangers seven of their last eight.

A loss is a loss, but the overall strength on paper and the current form of Texas’ recent opponents is a factor. The Rangers dropped two to the Dodgers (11-2 last 13) and four to the Astros (10-0 run) before losing the opener of this series when they sent out Yohander Mendez to make his first start of his career. Today the Rockies send out Jon Gray who hasn’t had a quality start since early May and has given up four or more runs in five of his last six outings and overall is 1-3 with a 6.97 ERA in day starts. The Texas starter Yovani Gallardo comes up from the minors where he looked OK to make his first MLB start since last season. The Rockies line up has decent historical numbers against him with a .275 career batting average but the numbers are skewed by Carlos Gonzalez .421 in 19 at bats and Ian Desmond .278 in 18 ABs accounting for over a third of the plate appearances. I’ll take my chances on Gallardo and back the home side at plus money.
