Phillies vs Rockies Predictions and Picks

Philadelphia is 12-10 on the road and 7-3 in its last 10 games. The Phillies are tied for 10th in runs, fifth in batting average, fifth in on-base percentage, and 10th in slugging percentage. In pitching, they rank 14th in ERA. Kyle Schwarber leads the team in home runs and RBIs and hit a solo home run in Game 1. During this winning streak, the Phillies have had consistently strong pitching and several high-scoring games.

On the mound for Philadelphia is Jesus Luzardo, who is 4-0 with a 2.00 ERA. He has five quality starts this season, has allowed three or more runs in only one game, and has pitched consistently well all year.

Colorado is 5-17 on the road and 2-8 in its last 10 games. The Rockies rank 29th in runs scored, 28th in batting average, 29th in on-base percentage, and 27th in slugging percentage. They also have the worst ERA in the league. Hunter Goodman leads the team in batting average and RBIs, but went 0-for-4 in Game 1. Colorado actually held a 3-1 lead going into the seventh inning, but the bullpen collapsed. The Rockies have shown some fight in their last three games.

On the mound for Colorado is Antonio Senzatela, who is 1-7 with a 6.39 ERA. He has just one quality start this season, and his last four outings have been rough. Lately, Senzatela has struggled with giving up hits and issuing walks.

Best Bet: Under

The Phillies should win this game easily. Their bats are likely to get going early against Senzatela, and Luzardo should shut down Colorado's struggling offense. Betting on the total runs scored offers the best value against a below-average Rockies team. Philadelphia will handle most of the scoring, yet the game could still hit the under with a strong starter on the mound.
