Cleveland Guardians vs Colorado Rockies Match Prediction 28 July 2025

So, the Rockies acquire Griffin Herring as part of their return from the Yankees. A great addition for Colorado. He was a standout relief pitcher during LSU baseball's 2023 National Title run. The Yankees gave him a chance to start. Between A-ball and High-A, he’s 7-3 with a 1.71 ERA, striking out 102 in 89.1 innings. The game log shows Herring’s transition to a starter looks promising, as he’s gone at least 6 innings in 6 of his 10 starts. His breaking pitches are his strength, especially his slider. His success as a starter depends on increasing his fastball velocity and improving a changeup he threw only 11 times at LSU. If Herring can’t reach the majors as a starter, he still has a solid shot at being a high-leverage reliever, which is his floor. Ryan McMahon appears to be the biggest name potentially moved, seen as a consolation prize for teams that miss out on Eugenio Suárez. Baltimore Orioles catcher Alex Jackson delivered a moment straight out of the Happy Gilmore playbook during Saturday night’s 18-0 blowout of the Colorado Rockies. Whether planned or just perfect timing, the resemblance to the movie’s signature swing was uncanny. As the Colorado Rockies face off against the Cleveland Guardians on July 28, 2025, all eyes are on the pitching duel between Bradley Blalock and Slade Cecconi. Cleveland Guardians struggle at the plate but face MLB's worst pitching staff in Colorado. The Rockies sit last in the NL West at 27-77 and were just crushed 18-0 by Baltimore. Guardians have won 12 of their last 16 games while Colorado has lost nine of their last 12 road games. Cecconi brings a solid 3.76 ERA against Blalock's troubling 8.67 mark. I have no issue laying the 1.5 runs with the Guardians in this spot. They’ve been on a tear recently, going 12-5 SU and winning 10 of those games by 2+ runs. Now they’re tasked with stretching out a multi-run lead against a Rockies side that has an average margin of victory of -2.6 runs. To put that in perspective, there are only two other teams with AMOVs of more than -1.0 run (WSH -1.0, SAC -1.1). In short, these guys are horrible, and the Guardians should smash them at home. Cleveland’s offense has also been one of the better units in baseball recently. Over the last seven days, they’re sixth in wOBA (.347) and 12th in ISO (.177). With them taking on Colorado’s Bradley Blalock (8.67 ERA), they should find enough offensive success to cover the run line
