Colorado Rockies vs Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m on the Rockies here. I thought it was going to be Gomber against the Giants on Sunday, but I like this spot for him as well against a Red Sox team that’s had issues against righties this season. On the other side, this is a tough Travel spot for the Red Sox with no days off after Sunday night baseball going into Colorado while the Rockies are acclimated at the altitude amidst this long homestand. Give me the Rockies at home.
