Colorado Rockies @ Pittsburgh Pirates – 1.05PM ET
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Colorado Rockies and the Pittsburgh Pirates will be the final game of a three game mini series. The first and second games were played on Saturday, after the scheduled first game on Friday was postponed. The Pirates managed to win both the games so far in this mini series and didn’t even allow the Rockies to score a single run, winning the first game 7-0 and the second game 4-0.
The Colorado Rockies are not having a good season of results so far, they are currently sitting on a 19-34 season record. They are currently the second last team in the West Division in the National League, with the Arizona Diamondbacks the only team behind them.
The Rockies have won only four games out of their last ten, including a series loss to the Mets (3-1) and this current mini series has already been lost to the Pirates with this Sunday game still to be played. When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are near the middle of the league, with an average of 4.4.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are also not having a good season of results so far, they are currently sitting on a 20-31 season record. They are at the bottom of their Central Division in the National League, with the leaders being the Cubs who are nine wins ahead of them.
The Pirates have only won three of their last ten games, which includes a series loss to the Braves (3-1) and the Cubs (3-0), but they are currently on a two game winning streak. The Pirates are dead last in the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 3.29.
The first two games have been terrible viewing if you are a Colorado Rockies fan. On paper these two teams are just as bad as each other, so many people didn’t really expect to see such lopsided results in the first two games.
The Rockies just cannot win on the road, and their road win percentage is currently .120, that coupled with their terrible performances in the previous two games, can you really put your money on them? Back the Pirates to get the clean sweep.

Kansas City Royals @ Minnesota Twins – 2.10PM ET
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Kansas City Royals and the Minnesota Twins will be the final game of a three game mini series. The first was played on Friday, where the Royals managed to get the win away from home, winning 8-3. The Twins were able to strike back in the second game that was played on Saturday, narrowly edging out the Royals, 6-5.
The Kansas City Royals are having an okay season of results so far – but it could be better, they are currently sitting on a 24-26 season record. They are currently the middle team in the Central Division in the American League, with the White Sox and Indians the two teams ahead of them.
The Royals have won six games out of their last ten, including a series win against the Brewers (2-0) and the Tigers (2-1). When it comes to average runs scored per game, they are near the middle of the league, with an average of 4.1.
The Minnesota Twins are not having a good season of results so far, they are currently sitting on a 21-30 season record. They are the second last team of their Central Division in the American League, with the Tigers narrowly behind them, with the same number of wins but one more loss than the Twins.
The Twins have been getting their act together recently and have won seven of their last ten games, which includes a series win against the Indians (2-1) and the Orioles (3-0). The Twins are in the top half of the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.68.
Just a look at their recent form, the Twins have been playing better baseball out of the two teams. Yes, their recent wins are against teams that are also having a tough season, but a win is a win! The Royals also seem to not like playing in Minnesota, they are 7-20 in their previous 27 games here. Back the Twins to take the victory on Sunday.

Cincinnati Reds @ Chicago Cubs – 2.20PM ET
This Sunday afternoon clash between the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs will be the final game of a three game mini series.

The Chicago Cubs are having a great season of results so far, which many would have expected, they are currently sitting on a 29-22 season record. They are equal first in their Central Division in the National League, with the Cardinals who have the same number of wins and losses.
The Cubs have been showing their dominance and have won eight of their last ten games, which includes a series win against the Cardinals (2-1) and the Pirates (3-0). The Cubs are in the top half of the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.54.
Can you really go past the Cubs for this home game? They have won the previous two games in this mini series and are currently on a six game winning streak. The Cubs are also 9-2 in their previous eleven games played at home, so they are a team that knows how to take advantage of their home field.

On Saturday the Cardinals were able to make it three in a row against the Diamondbacks, winning 7-4.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are having a poor season of results so far, they are currently sitting on a 18-35 season record. They are at the bottom of their West Division in the National League, with division leaders, the Padres already fifteen wins ahead.

The Cubs are in the middle of the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 4.31.
Looks like the Diamondbacks can’t get a win if their lives depended on it! Looking back further the Diamondbacks have lost thirteen games in a row. We just don’t know where the Diamondbacks are going to get their win from, and the Cardinals are too good of a team to let a team like the Diamondbacks get a win. Back the Cardinals.

Texas Rangers @ Seattle Mariners – 4.10PM ET

The Seattle Mariners are having an okay season of results so far but they need a few more wins in the books to get up in their division, they are currently sitting on a 25-27 season record. They are in the middle of their West Division in the American League, with the Athletics and the Astros the two teams ahead of them.
The Mariners recent results have been a bit of a mixed back, they have won five of their last ten games, which includes a current three game win streak (all against the Rangers). The Mariners are at the back of the league when it comes to average runs scored per game, at 3.75.
On top of everything, the Rangers aren’t very good on the road, 16-46 in their previous 62 road games. The Rangers also don’t have a good record against the Mariners in Seattle, with a record of 5-17 in the last 22 meetings in Seattle. This should be an easy pick, and we are expecting the Mariners to get the clean sweep in this mini series.
