Rockies vs Phillies Odds, Spreads, and Total
After getting an extra 24 hours to soak in the 6-1 victory in the series opener, the Philadelphia Phillies return to Citizens Bank Park tonight for the second game against the Colorado Rockies. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. EST.
Hoping to capitalize on early-season momentum, the Phillies (3-1) secured Monday’s win with a pivotal seventh inning. Edmundo Sosa’s two-out, two-run double broke a 1-1 tie, and Kyle Schwarber followed with a two-run homer. Max Kepler and Nick Castellanos added back-to-back homers in the eighth, highlighting a late-game offensive explosion.
The Rockies (1-3), who have dropped three of four games to start their season, struggled offensively in the series opener. The team’s lone run came from Hunter Goodman’s solo home run. Leadoff hitter Brenton Doyle provided another bright spot by collecting three hits.
Tonight’s pitching matchup features Colorado left-hander Kyle Freeland facing off against Philadelphia’s ace right-hander Aaron Nola. Freeland struggled in his season debut, taking the loss after allowing significant damage in the early innings.
Nola, conversely, delivered a solid performance in his first start, pitching into the sixth inning while keeping hitters largely off balance. The veteran anchors a Phillies rotation with high expectations this season.

Rockies vs Phillies Predictions and Picks
“The Phillies are rightfully heavy favorites against the Rockies, but the line is inflated given Zack Wheeler’s early-season struggles. Wheeler has a lifetime 3.87 ERA in March and April, the highest of any month in his career. Rockies’ starter Kyle Freeland is coming off six scoreless innings against the Rays to open the season. Since returning from the injured list in mid-2024, he has posted a 3.73 ERA while issuing fewer than 1.6 walks per nine innings.” — Greg Peterson, VSiN
“With a clear pitching advantage and a deeper lineup, the Phillies should control this matchup from start to finish. Wheeler has the tools to dominate, while Freeland faces an uphill battle against a dangerous offense. Expect Philadelphia to continue their strong start at home. Final Score Prediction, Phillies win 5-1.” — Ricky MacKenzie, Picks and Parlays
“The Phillies won eight of the previous 10 head-to-head encounters, including five of the last seven. Kyle Freeland turned back the clock with his opening display of the season, but I don’t think he will have such a good day in Philly on Wednesday. The Phillies have a much better offense than the Rays, so I am sure they will hand him a lot of trouble here. I think Freeland will surrender at least two or three runs in the first few innings … Wheeler is a tricky pitcher, but I am sure the Rox can do damage. Of course, the worst bullpen in baseball will help us win this bet, so I’ll take Over with no hesitation.” — Oliver Zivic, PickDawgz
