Rockies at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Marlins 4, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

Miami (-165) should complete the 3-game sweep. The Marlins have won 3 straight vs. the Rockies and are 10-3 in the last 13 meetings in Miami vs. the Rockies, dating back to 2019.

However, the Marlins are not worth the risk of betting on as -165 favorites. Bet on the spread and/or O/U instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ROCKIES +1.5 (-150).

Neither team is very good. They both feature 3-7 records in their past 10 games, respectively. As bad as they are, it’s safe to assume that this will be a close game.

The ATS records are nothing to brag about, but the Rockies are just slightly better at 13-17 ATS, while the Marlins are 10-22 ATS, which ranks last in the majors.

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-105).

The Under has hit in 3 of Colorado’s last 4 games and is 6-4 in its last 10 games. The Under is also 11-5 in Colorado’s last 16.

In head-to-head matchups, the Under has hit in 7 of the last 10 and is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Miami.

This is a very slight lean as the Under is only 16-14 for Colorado this season and 15-17 for Miami. I’d prefer to get the O/U line at 8.

Rockies at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Marlins 6, Rockies 3

Money line

The Rockies, despite going 4-3 on their last road trip, are tied for the fewest road wins in baseball with 11.

The Marlins are 15-14 at home this season and have won 6 of their last 8 games there.

Because these are 2 teams that have not been great this season, the price on the money line here is worth it for the home team.

Take the MARLINS (-130).

Run line/Against the spread

The Marlins are 35-30 ATS overall this season but only 14-15 ATS at home. They have covered the spread in 7 of their last 11. Six of their last 7 wins are by 2 or more runs.

The Rockies are 15-14 ATS on the road this season. Fourteen of their 18 road losses this season have been by 2 or more runs.

Take the MARLINS -1.5 (+160).

Over/Under

All 3 of their games in Denver had 8 or more runs.

Four of the Rockies’ last 5 games have had 8 or more runs.

Seven of the last 13 for the Marlins have had 8 or more.

Take OVER 7.5 (-122).

Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (25-37) and Miami Marlins (26-35) clash again Thursday at 7:10 p.m. ET at loanDepot park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Marlins odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 2-3 with a 4.84 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 4.7 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 across 48 1/3 IP over 11 games (7 starts).

Gonzalez is coming off rough back-to-back relief outings but he was solid in two starts before that with 2 ER over 13 IP.

LHP Trevor Rogers is the projected starter for the Marlins. In a dozen starts this season, Rogers is 6-3 with a 1.97 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 10.6 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 through 68 2/3 IP.

The southpaw has held right-handed batters to a .582 OPS.

  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Prediction

Marlins 4, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

Colorado and Miami split the first two games of this series.

Colorado has had its woes in creating offense away from Coors Field. The Rockies’ anemic .565 road OPS ranks last in MLB.

Some of that is BABIP related (Colorado has a .272 BABIP away from home). Some of it is poor performance in high-leverage situations and some of it is schedule-related as the Rockies have played a tough slate with regard to pitching faced.

Add in the assessment that Rogers is good but not sub-2.00 ERA good. BACK THE ROCKIES (+180).

PASS with too many conflicting play/fade signals to parse.

Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rockies at Miami Marlins odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (24-37) and Miami Marlins (26-34) meet Wednesday at 7:10 p.m. ET at loanDepot park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Marlins odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Austin Gomber is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 4-5 with a 4.12 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 9.4 K/9, and 3.3 BB/9 in 63 1/3 IP over 12 starts.

Gomber has upped his swinging-strike rate while posting a 1.53 ERA since May 12. He’s coming off a start where he tossed 6 scoreless innings vs. Pittsburgh on Thursday.

LHP Braxton Garrett is the projected starter for the Marlins. Garrett has made one MLB relief appearance in 2021 (3 IP, 3 ER). He clocked a 5.87 ERA in 2 starts a year ago and has been pitching well of late in Triple-A.

  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies -1.5 (+165) |  Marlins +1.5 (-200)
  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Prediction

Rockies 4, Marlins 3

Money line (ML)

Miami took Tuesday’s series opener, 6-2. The victory marked just the Marlins’ second since May 26.

Colorado has had its woes in creating offense away from Coors Field. The Rockies’ anemic .558 road OPS ranks last in MLB. Some of that is batting-average-on-balls-in-play-related (Colorado has a .265 BABIP away from home).

Some of it is poor performance in high-leverage situations and some of it is schedule-related as the Rockies have played a tough slate with regard to pitching faced.

With Gomber’s stuff being so strong of late, the Rockies’ bullpen being more bottom-third bad and less prolifically bad (as perhaps their surface ERA indicates), and with left-handers bringing out much the better side of Colorado’s platoon splits (.780 OPS vs. lefties), BACK THE ROCKIES (+100) in this one.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on the run-line action; the low-score possibility here makes the multi-run play too iffy.

Over/Under (O/U)

Some play-Gomber/play-Colorado relievers lean works alongside two shaky offenses to make for some value on the UNDER 7.5 (-120).
