Philadelphia Phillies vs Colorado Rockies Predictions 4/20/2022
After beating the Philadelphia Phillies at home, the Colorado Rockies won their third game in a row and moved to 7-3. Colorado won their sixth home game of the year, and they’ll be on the road for the next 2 series against Detroit and Philadelphia.
Chad Kuhl put forth a strong showing in his first home game with the Rockies. Before departing the game with a slight hip injury, he held the Phillies at bay for 6 innings, surrendering only two hits. In the sixth inning,
Charlie Blackmon blasted his first home run of the season, and in the seventh, Randal Grichuk hit a two-run double to put Colorado ahead 4-0. Holds were awarded to Tyler Kinley and Jhoulys Chacin, and Alex Colome earned his first save of the season.
On Wednesday, the Rockies’ German Marquez (0-0) will take the mound. In his third appearance, the 27-year-old righty is searching for his first victory of the year; in 11.1 innings of work, he has a 3.97 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 8 strikeouts and 1 BB.
Last year, Marquez was outstanding in his two starts against the Phillies (1-0), allowing only two runs on 12 hits with 14 strikeouts and four walks in 12.0 innings for a terrific 1.50 ERA.
- The total went UNDER in 5 of Colorado’s previous 7 matches.
- The Colorado Rockies are 8-2 SU in their last 10 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 4 of Colorado’s last 6 matches against Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Phillies vs Colorado Rockies. The MLB pick for this game is the Colorado Rockies. German Marquez got battered hard in his previous appearance at Coors Field, and I’m betting on the past season’s All-Star to bounce back versus the team with which he had so much success last year.
Philadelphia is batting.229 against right-handed pitchers, earning only 3.03 runs per game, while Colorado is batting.271 against right-handed pitchers, posting 5.65 runs per game.
Because Zach Eflin underperformed in his initial starts and the Rockies lead the MLB in hitting average (.282), I’m picking the hosts to win the series on Wednesday.
In Game 2, against southpaw Kyle Freeland, the Phillies will have a greater chance of winning. The Colorado Rockies will win to a predicted score of 6-5.
