Preview of Rockies vs Guardians Prediction

Cleveland enters with modest offense, ranking near the bottom in batting average (.225), runs scored, and OPS, but Slade Cecconi has posted solid recent starts, allowing two or fewer runs in three of his last four outings. Meanwhile, Colorado struggles mightily—scoring just around 3.6 runs per game and enduring an 8‑67 start to the season so far. They've been outscored 22–1 in their last two losses, and Bradley Blalock has struggled with an ERA near 8.67.

‍

These trends suggest runs early are likely from Cleveland before the Rockies’ bullpen issues worsen.
