Rockies Have Worst Record In The League
Colorado heads into Game Two trying to stop another slide after a 6–4 loss in the opener, their sixth defeat in the last eight games. At 26–44, they own the worst record in baseball, and the issues continue to show up on both sides of the ball. The Rockies are hitting .248 with a .713 OPS and 68 home runs, and while they’ve averaged 4.30 runs per game, the production hasn’t been steady enough to cover for a pitching staff that ranks last in ERA at 5.56 and WHIP at 1.52. Defensive inconsistency has added to the problem with 42 errors, and the lack of quality starts has forced the bullpen into heavy workloads.

Kyle Freeland gets the ball, and his season has been a struggle from the start. He enters with a 7.81 ERA across 12 outings and an 8.07 mark on the road, where he has allowed 41 hits and 26 earned runs in just 29 innings. The home‑run ball has hurt him, and opponents have consistently put traffic on the bases. For Colorado to even the series, Freeland needs to find early command, the offense must take advantage of scoring chances against an Oakland staff that has been vulnerable, and the defense has to avoid giving away extra outs. If the Rockies can keep the game from getting away in the middle innings, they’ll at least give themselves a chance to bounce back.
A's Looking To Get Back To .500
The Athletics look to keep their momentum going after taking the opener 6–4, a win that pushed them to 34–35 and continued a stretch where they’ve taken four of their last five. The offense has been steady all season, averaging 4.41 runs per game with a .247 average, a .738 OPS, and 89 home runs. They’ve shown enough balance to stay competitive most nights, and Las Vegas Ballpark has played well for their lineup. The pitching staff still sits in the lower tier with a 4.61 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP, but the defense has been one of their strengths with just 28 errors, tied among the better marks in the league. Last night’s win followed their recent formula: timely hitting, power when needed, and just enough pitching to protect a lead.
Jeffrey Springs gets the start, entering with a 4.68 ERA across 14 outings and a 5.01 mark in his overall home splits, though he has yet to pitch in Las Vegas. He’s allowed 74 hits and 39 earned runs in 75 innings, and the long ball has been a recurring issue with 16 homers allowed. Still, his strikeout‑to‑walk ratio remains solid, and when he’s locating, he can give the A’s quality innings. The keys here are straightforward: Springs needs to avoid middle‑of‑the‑zone mistakes, the offense must continue to pressure a Colorado staff that ranks last in ERA and WHIP, and the defense has to stay clean behind him. If the Athletics keep the same energy and execution they showed in the opener, they’ll be in a strong position to take a 2–0 series lead.
Colorado Rockies vs Athletics Pick
Rockies vs Athletics Moneyline Pick
- Athletics -165 (5 Units)
The A’s look like the right side because they’re simply playing better baseball right now, and the matchup leans their way again. They’ve won four of five, the offense has been steady with real pop, and they just handled Colorado’s pitching in the opener. Springs isn’t perfect, but he’s serviceable enough to give them a chance, and he won’t be facing a Rockies lineup that scares anyone on the road. Colorado’s pitching has been a mess all season, Freeland has been getting hit hard everywhere he goes, and their defense hasn’t helped him at all. With the A’s carrying momentum, playing cleaner baseball, and matching up against the worst staff in MLB, this is a spot where they should be able to take control again.
Rockies vs Athletics Over/Under Pick
- Over 14 (4 Units)
The Over 14 absolutely has a case because Las Vegas Ballpark has been playing like a launching pad, and this matchup brings two starters who are fully capable of letting things snowball. Kyle Freeland has an 8.07 road ERA with 41 hits and 26 earned runs allowed in just 29 innings, and the A’s offense has real pop with 89 homers and a .738 OPS. On the other side, Jeffrey Springs has given up 16 home runs and owns a 5.01 ERA in his overall home splits, and this will be his first start in Vegas — not exactly the ideal environment for a pitcher who already struggles with the long ball. Colorado’s pitching staff ranks dead last in ERA and WHIP, their defense gives away extra outs, and the A’s have been swinging it well during this 4–1 stretch. With this park, these starters, and two bullpens that can leak runs, this one has all the ingredients to get past the number.
