Phillies at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 6, Rockies 4
Moneyline
PASS.
The Phillies (-165) should win their 6th straight game, but there is no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when Philadelphia should win by multiple runs. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.
Run line/Against the spread
BET PHILLIES -1.5 (-110).
Six of Philadelphia’s last 7 wins have been by multiple runs. The Phillies are 5-1 in their last 6 road games vs. teams with a losing record and should be able to win by margin vs. the Rockies, who are just 7-11 at home this season. Seven of Colorado’s last 8 losses have been by multiple runs and the Rockies should struggle to keep it close Sunday vs. Nola and the Phillies.

Over/Under
BET UNDER 10.5 (+100).
The Under is 4-0 in Philadelphia’s last 4 road games vs. teams with a losing record and 8-1 in its last 9 after a win. These teams have played low-scoring games vs. each other recently, with the Under hitting in 5 of the last 6 meetings, and Sunday’s matchup should stay under the total once again with Nola on the mound for Philadelphia.
