Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (4-14) will try to avoid the sweep as they wrap up a 3-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies (10-8) Wednesday. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park is at 6:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Phillies lead 2-0

The Rockies have lost 4 straight after winning the 1st outing on their current 6-game road trip. They were shut out 5-0 by the Phillies Tuesday, a step in the wrong direction after losing a close 2-1 decision in 10 innings Monday night.

Phillies LHP Ranger Suarez pitched the 2nd complete game in MLB this season, allowing 7 hits and 1 walk with 8 strikeouts in Tuesday’s win.

The Phillies will look to pick up their 1st series sweep of the year Wednesday. They are 5-2 in their last 7 but have not won more than 2 consecutive games this season.

Rockies at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 4, Rockies 2

Moneyline

While the Phillies (-225) have not had a 3-game winning streak, swept a series, or won with Sanchez on the mound this season, Colorado’s (+185) struggles on the road are too much to ignore.

The Rockies have scored 2 or fewer runs in 7 of 12 road games. They have scored 1 run combined in the last 3 contests.

Feltner gives them a good shot at winning, but unless the offense can show more than it has, you can’t pick Colorado.

But at -225, it isn’t worth the action on the Phillies.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Ten of the Rockies’ 14 losses this season have been by multiple runs.

The Phillies have won games by exactly 1 run this season (4 of their 10 wins have been by 1 run), but it’s more common for them to win by multiple.

The Phillies have covered the spread in 2 straight games only once this season and have the opportunity to do it for a 2nd time after their 5-run win Tuesday.

BET PHILLIES -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Twelve of Philadelphia’s last 13 games have finished with 8 or fewer total runs, and only one landed on 8 exactly.

Rockies games haven’t been high-scoring, either, as 6 of their last 7 have seen 8 or fewer total runs scored. Colorado has put up 3 or fewer runs in 7 of its last 9 games.

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Colorado Rockies (5-14) and Philadelphia Phillies (8-11) will square off for the 1st time this season on Thursday. First pitch from Citizens Bank Park will be at 6:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: 1st meeting; Philles won 6 of 7 from Rockies last season

The Rockies are in the midst of a dreadful streak, losing 8 straight games to fall 9 games below .500. After starting the season 2-0, they’ve since lost 14 of their last 17 games and own the 3rd-worst record in MLB. They have 2nd-worst team ERA in the league (5.82) and have scored the 6th-fewest runs (72) despite playing in a hitter-friendly park.

The Phillies took 2 of 3 from the Chicago White Sox in their last series and have won 4 of their last 6 games after losing 3 in a row. Still, they’re 6 games back of the Atlanta Braves in the NL East, sitting 3 games below .500.

Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies projected starters

RHP Ryan Feltner vs. LHP Matt Strahm

Feltner (0-2, 8.78 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 1.95 WHIP, 7.4 BB/9 and 10.1 K/9 in 13 1/3 IP.

  • Longest outing of season is just 5 IP and he’s allowed at least 3 ER in each start
  • In his last start Saturday, he allowed 5 ER in 3 2/3 IP to the Seattle Mariners, a game the Rockies lost, 9-2

Strahm (1-1, 2.13 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 0.95 WHIP, 3.6 BB/9 and 11.4 K/9 in 12 2/3 IP.

  • Has appeared in 4 games, 3 of which he started;
  • Pitched 5 shutout inings for lone win came against the Miami Marlins on April 10.

Rockies at Phillies picks and predictions

Prediction

Phillies 5, Rockies 2

Moneyline

The Rockies enter on an 8-game losing streak and the Phillies – despite their sub-.500 record – won’t be the easiest opponent. Strahm probably won’t go deep into the game, but he’s been steady as a starter and can give the Phillies 4-5 good innings before yielding to the bullpen.

The money line of -225 isn’t worth betting because of the low reward, but this is a game the Phillies should win. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Rather than betting the moneyline, the run line offers much more upside. And when you consider that each of the Phillies’ last 5 wins has come by at least 3 runs, it’s a good bet.

This is a game I expect the Phillies to win fairly comfortably against Feltner, who has had control issues and has allowed 5 runs in 2 of his 3 starts. BET PHILLIES -1.5 (-115).

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

Over/Under

The Rockies are in rough shape right now. They haven’t scored more than 3 runs in any of their last 6 games, which makes it tough to win. The Phillies, meanwhile, have been shut out in 2 of their last 6 games, but in the other 4, they scored 34 total runs.

With how hot-and-cold the Phillies have been, and the Rockies’ struggling bats, bet the UNDER 9 (+100).

Analyzing Thursday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (10-8) and Philadelphia Phillies (9-10) close out their 4-game series at Citizens Bank Park Thursday at 1:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Phillies lead 4-2 after winning the first 3 games of this set.

Colorado had scored 6 runs or more in 5 of their previous 9 games, but the Rockies have tallied just 8 runs total in the 3 games in Philly.

Philadelphia is 5-2 over its last 7 games. Their average margin of victory in those 5 wins is 5.40 runs per game.

Rockies at Phillies projected starters

LHP Austin Gomber vs. RHP Zack Wheeler

  • Pitched 6 shutout innings Saturday at Detroit in his last start,  fanning 8 without issuing a walk.

Wheeler (0-3, 8.53 ERA) makes his fourth start. He has a 1.66 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9, and 7.8 K/9 in 12 2/3 IP.

  • Has allowed 11 R in his last 8 IP.

Run line/Against the spread

Philadelphia is on a solid roll. Wheeler’s rates around the margins have been unkind but not predictive.

BACK THE PHILLIES -1.5 (-103).

Over/Under

Look for some double-sided pushback from the pitchers in this high-scoring series, which to date has had an Over lean. Look for the pitching to toughen and be joined by a double-digit breeze in batters’ faces.

TAKE THE UNDER 7.5 (-120).

Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (10-7) and Philadelphia Phillies (8-10) continue their 4-game series at Citizens Bank Park Wednesday at 6:45 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Phillies lead 3-2 and have won the first 2 games of this set.

Colorado had scored 6 runs or more in 5 of their previous 9 games, but the Rockies have tallied just 5 R total in the last 2 games in Philly.

Philadelphia had lost 9 of its previous 12 games, posting a 5.24 ERA along the way. But they have allowed just 16 base runners while posting a 2.50 ERA in this series.

Rockies at Phillies projected starters

RHP Ryan Feltner vs. LHP Ranger Suarez

Feltner is being called up from Triple-A to make his season debut. He allowed 8R in 6 1/3 IP in his 2021 rookie season.

  • Faced Philadelphia last Sept. 12, going 3 2/3 IP with 4 H, 2 ER, 3 BB and 6 K.
  • Owns a 2-0 record with a 3.10 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 24K across 20 1/3 IP at Triple-A Albuquerque this season.

Suarez (1-0, 4.38 ERA) is tabbed for his fourth start. He has a 1.78 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9, and 6.6 K/9 in 12 1/3 IP.

  • Walked 3 and allowed 4 H in 4 2/3 IP in his last start, Friday vs. Milwaukee, but allowed just 1 R.

Run line/Against the spread

Seven of the Phillies’ 8 wins have come by 2 runs or more. The rookie Feltner is being done no favors by facing a home nine that has banged out 20 hits — 7 of the extra-base variety — the last 2 games. Still, when dealing with short past performances like that of Feltner’s record, it may be wise to dial down the wager unit.

BACK THE PHILLIES -1.5 (-103).

Over/Under

The Over was a decent play the first 2 games of this series, and that’s the lean again for Wednesday. But with a forecast of cooled-off temperatures and a pitcher’s wind blowing in from left-center … and the back ends of both pens being well-rested, there is some respect here to the risk underneath the total.

The 25-cent line muddies this picture. Consider holding out for a +100 tag on the 8.5 runs.

Analyzing Tuesday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (10-6) continue a four-game set against the Philadelphia Phillies (7-10) Tuesday with a 6:45 p.m. ET first pitch at Citizens Bank Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 2-2

The Rockies dropped the series opener 8-2 Monday to even their record at 2-2 on their current road trip.

The Phillies scored just 7 runs in a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, but the bats woke up Monday.

Rockies at Phillies projected starters

RHP German Marquez vs. RHP Zach Eflin

Marquez (0-0, 4.67 ERA) makes his fourth start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 through 17 1/3 IP.

  • Faced the Phillies Wednesday in his last start and allowed 4 ER and 3 HR in 6 IP.
  • Making his first road start of the year; he struggled away from home last season, putting up a 5.38 ERA in 14 starts.

Eflin (0-1, 3.95 ERA) makes his fourth start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 through 13 2/3 IP.

  • Allowed 4 ER in 5 2/3 IP against the Rockies at Coors in his last start Wednesday but recorded 16 swinging strikes among his 86 pitches.
  • Tossed 4 scoreless innings against the Oakland Athletics April 10 in his lone home start so far this season. This comes on the heels of a 2021 season in which he had a 3.02 home ERA across eight starts, compared to a 5.12 ERA on the road.

Prediction

Phillies 6, Rockies 3

Money line

Marquez has really struggled to miss bats in the early going. He has had a swinging strike rate of 12% or better in each of the past four seasons but it’s down to 6.9% through three starts to start this year.

Colorado has won four of six games on the road this season, but this is a team that had a 26-54 mark away from home in 2021. Look for the PHILLIES (-165) to make it two in a row.

Run line/Against the spread

Six of Philadelphia’s seven wins this season have been by more than a run. Their bats should get to Marquez and Eflin should fare well against a mediocre Colorado lineup. His skills to date are stronger than his inflated ERA would suggest. Back the PHILLIES -1.5 (+130).

Over/Under

The total has gone over in two of three starts for each of these pitchers and the line is set a little too low today. A small play on OVER 7.5 (-130) looks like the way to go.

Gibson (1-1, 3.57 ERA) makes his fourth start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 through 17 2/3 IP.

There is some upside room in the offensive numbers for both sides. Look for the OVER 8.5 (-112) to be a decent play after a 1-0 game Sunday night for the Phillies,

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line because risking three times your return as a standalone bet is not a good wager.

The Rockies have the second-fewest road wins in the majors and a 20-51 record away from Coors. Colorado already won two games this series, marking just the fourth time this year they have won multiple games in a road series. They have not won three games in a road series yet this season.

The Phillies are 40-30 at home and have not lost more than two games in any four-game series at Citizens Bank Park.

Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (65-77) and Philadelphia Phillies (71-70) meet Saturday at 6:05 p.m. ET to continue a four-game set at Citizens Bank Park. Let’s analyze the lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Kyle Freeland is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. Freeland is 5-7 with a 4.69 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 8.2 K/9, and 2.6 BB/9 over 96 IP across 19 starts.

  • Had a disastrous start in his last outing with 12 base runners allowed (including 4 home runs) through 4 1/3 IP against the San Francisco Giants on Monday.
  • Has pitched much better away from Coors Field. Owns a 4.04 road ERA for the season and a 2.08 mark over his last five road turns.
  • Has been undone by a .324 batting average on balls in play and an 18.6% home runs/fly balls rate. The combined effect makes for a 4.36 expected ERA.

RHP Zack Wheeler is the projected starting pitcher for the Phillies. He is 12-9 with a 2.91 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 10.4 K/9, and 1.9 BB/9 over 188 2/3 IP through 28 starts.

  • Coming off 6 scoreless innings at Milwaukee with no walks allowed and 9 strikeouts, but posted a 6.41 ERA over four starts prior.
  • Owns a 2.49 ERA and 0.86 WHIP through 112 IP at Citizens Bank Park this season.

Prediction

Phillies 4, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

Colorado was just 6-11 over its previous 17 games, but the Rockies have taken the first two games of this series.

Philadelphia is now just 2-6 over its last eight games. A surging Phillies offense scored 6.8 runs per game from Aug. 26-Sept. 6, but has managed just 2.0 RPG in four contests since.

The starting pitching matchup makes this third game interesting. There is a sliver of a lean toward Colorado here, but…

PASS on the money line. Look for more leverage in run line and totals wagering.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

BACK THE ROCKIES +1.5 (-125). This is a play on the expected ERAs of both starters, shading just a bit to the Colorado side, and on the Rockies’ bullpen being slightly undervalued.

Over/Under (O/U)

Consider a partial-unit play on the UNDER 7.5 (-120).

Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (64-77) opened their 10-games road trip Thursday with a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies (71-69). First pitch for the second game of the four-game series is at 7:05 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park. Let’s analyze the lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Rockies RHP German Marquez (11-10, 4.08 ERA) makes his 29th start of the year. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 through 161 IP.

Prediction

Phillies 7, Rockies 5

Money line (ML)

The Rockies won the opener and have won two straight on the road, but they have the second-fewest road wins in all of baseball, as they are 18-50 away from Coors Field. Before the win Thursday, the Rockies had lost four in a row. They have won more than one game in any road series only twice this season, both times against a team in the NL West.

The Phillies have lost three in a row after winning eight of their previous 10 games. They are 39-29 at home.

Take the PHILLIES (-155).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Rockies are 75-66 ATS overall this season but that changes when they are on the road. They are 30-39 ATS on the road, tied for the third-worst road ATS mark in the majors. Nine of their last 12 losses were by at least 2 runs.

The Phillies are 66-73 ATS overall this season and 31-36 ATS at home. They covered the spread in only two of their last seven games but six of their last nine wins were by at least 2 runs.

Take the PHILLIES -1.5 (+133).

Over/Under (O/U)

Six of the last seven road games for the Rockies had a total of 8 or fewer runs. They average only 3.30 runs per road game.

While Thursday’s game only had 7 runs, 11 of their last 17 games had a total of 9 or more.

Take OVER 8.5 (-107).

Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (63-77) and Philadelphia Phillies (71-68) meet Thursday at 7:05 p.m. ET to start a four-game set at Citizens Bank Park. Let’s analyze the lines around the Rockies vs. Phillies odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Antonio Senzatela is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. Through 23 games this season, Senzatela is 4-9 with a 4.16 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, 6.1 K/9 and 1.8 BB/9 over 132 IP.

  • Clocked a 2.45 ERA over his last five starts despite facing the hard-hitting Houston Astros, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves. Went 6-plus innings in each of his last five starts.
  • Has better numbers at Coors Field and owns a 5.63 road ERA over the last three seasons.

LHP Ranger Suarez is the projected starting pitcher for the Phillies. Through 34 games (seven starts), he is 6-4 with a 1.38 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 and 3.6 BB/9 over 72 IP.

  • Owns a 1.71 ERA, 1.23 WHIP since hopping into the Phillies rotation Aug. 2. Had started only three games in 2018 prior to this recent stint.
  • Has walked just 2.8 batters per nine at home (as opposed to 4.6 per nine on the road). Owns a 1.63 ERA over his last 27 2/3 IP at Citizens Bank Park.

Prediction

Phillies 6, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

Colorado is coming off a 2-5 homestand and is just 6-11 since Aug. 22. The Rockies head into Thursday’s game without an off day and on a four-game losing skid. They also head on the road after a particularly demoralizing loss Wednesday, in which they coughed up 3 runs in the ninth inning of an eventual 7-4 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

Philadelphia is just 2-4 over its last six games but the Phils are the better club, and their bullpen is in better shape for Thursday’s series opener.

TAKE THE PHILLIES (-210). Consider a partial-unit play or getting more leverage on the run line.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Fifteen of Philadelphia’s last 21 wins were by 2 or more runs.  Leverage a Phillies club batting .271/.346/.480 (.826) over its last 12 games, and BACK PHILADELPHIA -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. There’s a decent probability of a 3 or 4-run cushion for the Phils but against a low-scoring Colorado side.
