Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Padres (-165) are 19-4 since the All-Star break and have won the last 2 meetings between these teams. However, it’s hard to stay profitable long term in MLB betting into lines with this much vig.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres won 10-2 in Waldron’s last start vs. Colorado and outscored the Pirates 13-3 in their most recent series. Twelve of San Diego’s 19 wins since the break have been by multiple runs, while Colorado has lost Quantrill’s last 2 starts by 3 or more.

BET PADRES -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Waldron has given up 3 or fewer ER in 14 of his last 17 starts, and Quantrill has allowed 3 or fewer in 3 of his last 4. The Padres will likely score 6 or more runs, but it may not be enough to cash the Over with such a high total.

BET UNDER 11.5 (-120).

Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

Even though the Diamondbacks should cruise to a win on the road on Monday, AVOID wagering on the moneyline in this contest.

Run line/Against the spread

While taking any team to win by 3 or more runs is risky, it’s worth taking DIAMONDBACKS -2.5 (+100) with Kelly expected to start for Arizona. Kelly looked great in his last start vs. the Dodgers before being pulled due to cramps in his leg.

In 4 of their 6 wins against the Rockies this season, the Diamondbacks have won by at least 3 runs.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 11.5 (-110).

The Diamondbacks should have no issues producing runs on Flexen in this game, but it’s hard to see the Rockies plating enough runs to hit the Over. Arizona is 2-7-1 to the Over in its last 10 games overall, and the Under is 3-0 in the last 3 meetings.

Over/Under (O/U): 10 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Rockies at Reds picks and predictions

Prediction

Reds 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Reds have been rolling recently, winning 8 consecutive games and all of them on the road. Cincinnati returns home for Monday’s contest and Colorado is a dismal 13-26 on the road this season.

The Rockies are also 1-7 in the last 8 road meetings against the Reds.

BET REDS (-165).

Run line/Against the spread

REDS -1.5 (+110) is a fantastic value with how these teams have been playing in recent weeks. Williamson has had success against the Rockies this season and the Reds should have no problem producing runs on Gomber.

Over/Under

BET OVER 10 (-115).

Great American Ball Park is a hitter-friendly venue and the Reds are tied for the 9th-best ISO (.174) against left-handed pitching since the beginning of May.

The Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings between these teams and 11-4-1 in their last 16 meetings in Cincinnati.

Rangers 7, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Taking the Rangers moneyline isn’t worth the risk at over -200 odds.

Run line/Against the spread

RANGERS -1.5 (-110)

Texas is swinging a hot bat and getting Seager back in the lineup recently has helped. The Rangers are tied for the 4th-best wRC+ (112) against right-handed pitching and have won by 5-plus runs in the 1st 2 games.

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-120) is the choice in this interleague contest with Seabold and Heaney both showing a tendency of giving up runs this season. The Rangers are 5-0-1 to the Over in their last 6 games overall and the Over is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings.

Rockies at Pirates picks and predictions

Prediction

Pirates 5, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Unless you can get the Pirates’ moneyline at -160 odds or better then I’d avoid betting on either team in this game straight up.

Run line/Against the spread

PIRATES -1.5 (+110) has great value with how well Keller has pitched for Pittsburgh. The Pirates are also performing well against southpaws this season, posting a 115 wRC+ against LHP this season (tied for 6th best in MLB).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 8.5 (-115) is the lean in this NL matchup despite the Rockies swinging a hot bat in recent games. Keller is seemingly putting everything together on the mound and Freeland hasn’t been awful either.

The Under is 12-4 in the last 16 meetings between these clubs and 19-6-4 in the last 29 meetings in Pittsburgh.

Over/Under (O/U): 12 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Brewers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Brewers 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

Even though Miley doesn’t record many strikeouts, I’ll side with the BREWERS (-145) on the road for Thursday’s matchup as they look to avoid the series sweep.

Run line/Against the spread

BREWERS -1.5 (+100) has nice value as Milwaukee has the pitching advantage on Thursday. Seabold has struggled out of the bullpen this season for the Rockies and he was dismal in a starting role for the Red Sox in 2022.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 12 (-110) is how I’d play the run total despite the game taking place at Coors Field. Miley has given up a total of 6 ER in his 5 starts and Milwaukee’s bullpen has the 7th-best ERA (3.17) this season.

The Under is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings in Colorado and 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings overall.

Rockies at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 5

Moneyline

PASS.

Even with the Padres being heavy favorites on Friday, taking them straight up at the current odds (-190) isn’t advised.

Run line/Against the spread

ROCKIES +1.5 (-130) is how I’d bet on the spread with both teams having mediocre pitchers on the mound. Colorado’s lineup showed signs of life on Opening Day and it can keep this game close enough to cover the spread.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

BET OVER 7.5 (-120).

Freeland has struggled throughout the majority of his career and Martinez has been inconsistent since joining the starting rotation of the Padres. There have been 8-plus runs scored in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these teams.

The Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings when San Diego is the home team.

Diamondbacks at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Diamondbacks 8, Rockies 3

Money line

The DIAMONDBACKS (-155) are moderate favorites, and they’re a great play with their best starting pitcher on the bump. Conversely, the Rockies (+125) are expected to have a difficult time with Urena on the hill. He has been very giving this season, although he did handle the Snakes well last time out.

Run line/Against the spread

The DIAMONDBACKS -1.5 (-103) are worth playing on the run line at even money, as they look for revenge after dropping the series opener. The D-Backs have won 4 straight starts by Gallen, and they have won each of those starts by at least 2 runs.

Over/Under

The UNDER 11.5 (-110) is always a risky play in games at Coors Field, but Colorado will have a difficult time getting the bats going against Gallen. The Under connected in Friday’s series opener, and it will cash again Saturday, too.

White Sox at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

White Sox 8, Rockies 5

Money line

The WHITE SOX (-140) are a decent play as a moderate favorite against the struggling Rockies. Chicago has fared well against NL teams this season, and Giolito has at least held his own, especially on the road.

Senzatela has won just once in his last 10 starts dating back to April 29, and he has allowed 3 or more ER in 3 straight outings, and 6 of his last 9 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

The WHITE SOX -1.5 (+105) are a better play on the run line at plus money. Chicago won 2-1 in a well-pitched series opener Tuesday, but this game should have a lot more offense for both sides.

Over/Under

The OVER 11.5 (-122) is the lean in this interleague series finale. Even though the Under hit Tuesday, the Over is 4-1-2 in the last 7 games for the Pale Hose.

The Over has cashed in 5 of the previous 6 outings for the Rockies against winning teams. The Over is 2-0 in the past 2 starts for Senzatela, and 10-4 in his 14 starts this season.
