Anderson (1-1) allowed five runs on five hits while walking four and striking out three in the 10-6 loss to the Dodgers on Sunday. It was his second rough outing, as he’s allowed five earned runs in back-to-back starts. His ERA sits at an ugly 8.44 and owns a 1.64 WHIP as well.
Cueto (2-0) allowed two runs on five hits while walking three and striking out seven in seven innings in Sunday’s 5-3 win over the Padres. The only big mistake he made was a two-run home run to Wil Myers in the sixth inning. Otherwise, he was solid.
Bet Tonight’s Rockies vs. Giants Game
OUR PICK: The Rockies have won four of their last five road games and are 6-1 in their last seven games when facing a team with a losing record. The Giants have not hit, especially since Buster Posey went on the seven-day concussion list after being hit in the head by a pitch in the team’s series versus the Diamondbacks. Cueto has been good, but not dominant in his two starts and while Anderson has struggled, Colorado’s bullpen has been lights out. I expect a tight, low-scoring game and like the Rockies to pull off another upset.
