The Colorado Rockies will go for the series sweep today when they host the Kansas City Royals in the third of a three-game series at Coors Field in Denver, CO. Fans can follow the action on MLB.TV when the game starts at 3:10 p.m. EST.

Colorado was in need of a turnaround when they headed home for this series after losing their last four on the road. They got just that in Game 1 on Friday with a 3-1 win and pounded the Royals yesterday for a 12-6 win in Game 2. But it will not be easy to get a win today.

Kyle Freeland is scheduled to start for the Rockies. Freeland is 2-10 in 19 starts with a 7.34 ERA and a 1.55 WHIP. He has gone 2-3 at home in nine starts with a 6.33 ERA and a .303 OBA. He has allowed 4-6 runs in five of his last six starts.

As for the Royals, Kansas City is scheduled to hand the ball to Seth Lugo to start the day. Lugo has gone 4-6 in 22 starts with a 4.22 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. He has gone 1-2 in ten road starts with a 4.97 ERA and a .296 OBA.

Our Colorado Rockies vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

I was leaning towards the OVER at first because of the lackluster starting pitchers in this game, despite both teams not looking impressive at the plate over the last week (Kansas City-- .236 BA; Colorado-- .247). But the Under has been a better play for both in this scenario all season. However, against these pitchers in this park, I’d expect a high-scoring game. At the same time, the Royals have a distinct edge on the mound today. That could be enough to carry Kansas City to a win, making the Royals ML a solid value play.
