Philadelphia Phillies vs Colorado Rockies Picks
Phillies vs Rockies Spread Pick
- Take the Phillies to cover (5 runs)
It’s hard to take the Rockies seriously after an historically poor season last year. They have looked better to start this year, but it’s hard to trust them consistently this year. Jesus Luzardo gets the nod for the Phillies, and he should have a strong start in this game. He pitched well on the road last year with a 3.67 ERA and that should be good enough to give the Phillies offense confidence against a Rockies pitching staff that has consistently struggled.
Take the Phillies to cover.
Phillies vs Rockies Over/Under Pick
- Take the over (5 units)
The ball is always flying out of Coors Field thanks to the elevation. Both starting pitchers gave up some easy runs in their first appearance and both offenses will be chomping at the bit for a big day. The Phillies offense hasn’t taken its usually shape of strong efficient hitting, but this is a good chance for them. The Rockies are also hitting .231 through the first week of the year, which will give them some confidence to put up some big runs.
Take the over on Saturday.
