The Rockies really struggled over the past week or so, having suffered seven straight defeats coming into Wednesday’s game against the Pirates.
Colorado must now return to the road, where they continued to struggle, recording a 2-7 record thus far in 2023.
Philadelphia struggled with consistency this season, but they are at least 3-3 at home, so they still have a ton of home games left on the schedule after playing 13 of their first 19 matches away from the city.
Last season, the Phillies won all four of the clubs’ encounters at Citizens Bank Park, making it difficult to feel optimistic about the Rockies’ chances this time around. The Philadelphia Phillies will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
