Rangers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rangers 8, Rockies 5

Money line

Perez hasn’t been quite as good as his ERA would suggest but he is clearly the better pitcher in this matchup. Urena’s skills are among the worst in the league and he’s never a good bet for success at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Back the RANGERS -135.

Run line/Against the spread

Urena really struggles to miss bats, which is a recipe for disaster in Colorado. Texas has the highest implied run total in the league Wednesday and should come out on top by multiple runs. Take the RANGERS -1.5 (+110).

Over/Under

Urena’s skills are downright awful, and Perez’s have taken a turn for the worse lately, as he has been dishing out a lot of free passes. There is sure to be some offensive fireworks in this one, so go with OVER 11.5 (+105) or take it down to 10.5 (-140).

Rangers at Rockies projected starters

RHP Dane Dunning vs. RHP German Marquez

Dunning (3-6, 4.06 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.37 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 124 IP.

  • Walks have been an issue lately, as he has issued 3 or more free passes in 8 of his last 11 starts, a 4.6 BB/9 over that span
  • Has been much better at home than on the road this season, with a 3.21 ERA and 2.6 K/BB in Texas vs. a 5.08 ERA and 1.7 K/BB everywhere else

Marquez (6-10, 5.05 ERA) makes his 24th start. He has a 1.43 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 in 133 2/3 IP.

  • Has a 3.30 ERA in his last 7 starts, bringing his ERA down from 5.90 to it’s current 5.05 mark
  • Though his K/9 and BB/9 have been much better at home than on the road, he sports an ugly 5.85 ERA at Coors Field this season
  • Has been hurt by a .344 BABIP at home as well as 15 HR allowed in 72 1/3 IP (1.9 HR/9)

Rangers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Rockies 7, Rangers 5

Money line

Dunning has gotten himself into trouble with shaky control lately and has struggled on the road all season. He will be facing a Colorado team that is much better at home, with a winning record and a league-best 5.70 runs per game. Back the ROCKIES -125.

Run line/Against the spread

Of Colorado’s last 17 wins at home, 14 have been decided by more than 1 run. They should do some damage against Dunning and while Marquez isn’t likely to shut Texas down, the odds here are good enough for a small play on ROCKIES -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under

Colorado puts a lot of runs on the board at home and Texas scores about a half run more per game on the road than at home and should get an extra boost at Coors Field. Neither starting pitcher is a great bet for success in this one, and this total should push OVER 10.5 (-115).

Giants at Rockies projected starters

RHP Jakob Junis vs. LHP Kyle Freeland

Junis (4-3, 3.53 ERA) has appeared in 15 games (12 as a starter). He has a 1.14 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 through 71 1/3 IP.

  • Owns a 5.40 ERA in the second half

Freeland (7-8, 4.82 ERA) owns a 1.41 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.5 K/9 through 130 2/3 IP and 23 starts.

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 6, Rockies 4

Money line

The San Francisco offense was clicking along with an .819 OPS from Aug. 6-15. The Giants have had all sorts of trouble of late batting with runners in scoring position, and that can artificially tamp down offensive production.

The visiting team is the lean here, but not an actionable one with a price north of -125. Watch the line just in case; PASS if there is no change.

Run line/Against the spread

San Francisco’s offense is much stronger against lefties. Freeland has certainly struggled of late, and on this day he’s backed by a fatigued Rockies relief corps (especially at the back end).

TAKE SAN FRANCISCO -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

There are some slight Under lean elements here nothing worth the -130 premium being charged on the 11.5.

AVOID.

The San Francisco Giants (59-59) and Colorado Rockies (51-69) meet Friday at 8:40 p.m. ET to swing into a 3-game series at Coors Field in Denver. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Giants vs. Rockies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: San Francisco leads 6-3; the Giants are 21-7 against the Rockies since the beginning of last season

Giants at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Giants 7, Rockies 4

Money line

The San Francisco offense was clicking along with an .819 OPS from Aug. 6-15. That hot streak came to a halt the last 3 nights as the Giants went a combined 1-for-20 with runners in scoring position scoring a combined 4 runs in those games.

The visiting team is the lean here, but not an actionable one with a price north of -160. Watch the line just in case; PASS if there is no change.

Run line/Against the spread

Wood has been hurt by a .311 batting average on balls in play. He’s been sharp of late, and the Giants are worth the multi-run play in the high-octane run environment of Coors Field.

TAKE SAN FRANCISCO -1.5 (-100).

Over/Under

There are some Under-lean elements in the Giants’ overall production-versus-expected production numbers.  But recent bullpen slumps on both sides cancel that out.

AVOID.

Cardinals at Rockies projected starters

RHP Miles Mikolas vs. RHP Ryan Feltner

Mikolas (8-8, 2.92 ERA) makes his 23rd start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 in 138 2/3 IP.

  • Hasn’t been as good on the road this season as he has at home. In 11 road starts he has a 3.41 ERA and 3.1 K/BB compared to 2.48 and 5.2 at home
  • Has made 2 career starts at Coors Field, allowing 7 ER and 4 HR in 9 2/3 IP

Feltner (1-3, 5.75 ERA) makes his 10th appearance (9th start). He has a 1.45 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 40 2/3 IP.

  • Has appeared in just 3 games at Coors Field this season, where he has surrendered 7 ER in 13 1/3 IP while striking out 11
  • Not likely to work deep into the game and he has lasted 5+ innings just once in his last 6 MLB starts and reached that mark in just 1 of 3 July starts at Triple-A

Cardinals at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Cardinals 7, Rockies 5

Money line

The Cardinals have the pitching advantage and are the better team, but they are just 25-28 on the road this year, while the Rockies are 30-27 at home. There’s no value on either side of this line so PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Of Colorado’s 27 home losses, 20 have been decided by more than 1 run. In this game they will have to rely heavily on a bullpen that is second worst in the league in terms of ERA and K/9 so take the CARDINALS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The total has gone over in 6 of Feltner’s 8 starts this season, and Mikolas’ pitch to contact approach can’t be expected to work as well at Coors as it does everywhere else. This one should end up pretty close to the set total, but we’ll side with the plus odds and take OVER 11.5 (+105).
