Minnesota Twins - Colorado Rockies predictions and free betting tips [12/06/2024]

The Colorado Rockies are set for another game against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field today. In the first game of the series, the hosts emerged victorious with a 5-0 score, while the Rockies clinched the win in the second game with a 5-4 score. Left-hander Austin Gomber will be starting for Colorado, and right-hander Pablo López will be pitching for Minnesota.

Colorado Rockies

Colorado is enduring another disappointing season, occupying the last place in their division. They are 9.5 games behind the wildcard spot, and making the playoffs seems unlikely for now. Austin Gomber is 1-3 in his 12 starts with a 3.38 ERA over 66.2 innings.

Minnesota Twins

Minnesota currently occupies third place in the AL Central standings, 8 games behind the Cleveland Guardians. At present, they average 4.35 runs per game, which is a respectable output. Pablo López is having a tough season; in his 13 starts across 71 innings, he has recorded 5 wins and 6 losses with a 5.45 ERA and 1.23 WHIP.

Matchup Prediction: Minnesota Twins vs Colorado Rockies

The visitors have already shown that they can exhibit resilience and significantly challenge their opponents. Gomber is performing at his peak this season and looks quite solid. While Cuatrill has demonstrated that Minnesota's batting is not infallible, a +2 run handicap on Colorado will be my pick for this game. The Rockies could indeed clinch a victory, but concerns about the bullpen prevent a more confident forecast.

Total Match Over/Under Prediction

In recent games, our teams have shown they can hit the ball well. The starting pitchers are not known for their reliability, so we can expect a tilt towards offence. A total over 8 runs in these circumstances looks appealing and achievable.
