Free Colorado Rockies vs. Pittsburgh Pirates MLB Prediction:
This will be an interesting matchup Cole seems to be where he needs to be after that start against the Cubs, and this Rockies lineup is hard to keep runs off the board. I am taking the Pirates in this one for a few reasons.
I do not trust Eddie Butler on the mound against two of the NL’s best teams back to back. The other reason is that I believe Gerrit Cole is ready to start rolling like he did towards the end of the year last year.
