Colorado @ Cleveland picks

Not often I’m backing Rockies pitchers for 18 outs but today is the day. 
Kyle Freeland on the road is a different pitcher away from Coors. He owns a respectable 4.68 ERA away from Coors and has gone Over this number in seven of his 10 road starts and in six of his last eight total starts. Freeland is also one the most efficient pitchers in baseball averaging just 3.54 pitches per batter faced which is the lowest mark in all of baseball. The Guardians' offense has inflated its numbers in this series facing some of the Rockies’ worst pitchers while the 9-mph wind blowing in should help the lefty keep the ball in the park.
