MLB Odds: Astros All-Star Cole Faces Anderson, Rockies

The Houston Astros will visit the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday in the most intriguing pitching matchup of the night. Gerrit Cole, who was named to the All-Star team, will be on the mound for the Astros, while the Rockies will counter with Tyler Anderson.

With a 2.52 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP, Cole has been one of the best pitchers this season. Houston has won seven of his last nine starts overall. He has improved to 10-2 on the season over that span. The veteran righty has been just as good on the road as he has been at home, going 6-1 with a 2.53 ERA in 10 road starts this season.

Colorado will send Anderson to the mound Tuesday night. Despite having to overcome the difficulties of pitching at home at Coors Field, the veteran lefty is 6-3 with a 3.72 ERA this season. Anderson is just 2-3 with a 3.94 ERA in his 10 home starts this season. However, it’s worth noting that Anderson has held opponents to two earned runs or less in each of his last four starts dating back to June 29.

Tuesday’s game will mark the first of four head-to-head meetings between the Rockies and Astros this season.
