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).
