Preview
The Colorado Rockies and the Philadelphia Phillies will play the 2nd game of the series at the Coors Field on Tuesday night in Colorado. The Rockies won the 1st game 4-1.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies get here with a 4-7 record, they won the opening series but lost the next 2. The team is averaging 3.9 runs while allowing 5 runs per game. Bryce harper leads the team with 2 home runs and 9 RBI while Nick Castellanos is leading in batting average with .293.
Nola (1-2) allowed two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.1 innings Monday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Rockies.
Probable Pitcher:
Kyle Gibson (1-1, 3.09 ERA) will start for the Phillies in the 2nd game of the series. Gibson allowed four earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six across 4.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Marlins.
Colorado Rockies
The Rockies won the the 1st game if the series against the Phillies and are now 7-3 this season. The team is averaging 5.00 runs per game while allowing 3.9 runs. CJ Cron leads the team with 5 home runs and 10 RBI. Connor Joe is .359 avg at bat.
Kuhl threw six shutout innings to earn his first win with Colorado, allowing only two hits and a walk while striking out four. However, he was pulled after just 68 pitches due to the discomfort.
Probable Pitcher:
Kyle Freeland (0-2, 10.00 ERA) will be on the mound for the Phillies in the 3rd game of the series. Freeland has been blitzed for 10 runs across nine innings in his first two starts of 2022, but he was effective for most of his first five seasons in the majors after factoring in his unfavorable home environment. He pitched one game against the Phillies last season allowing 4 runs in 6 innings and struck out 3.
BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 6 games.
Philadelphia are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Colorado's last 6 games.
Colorado are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games.
Prediction
The Phillies won their opening series against the A's but have struggled since then and have won only one game on the road so far. Kyle Gibson has done a good job but Rockies offense has show great power. Kyle Freeland has allowed 5 runs in each of his two starts this season so it's hard to know how he will be this time. I'm taking the over on this one, the over has cashed in 4 of the last 6 games for the Phillies and the Rockies have one of the best offenses so far.
PICK: Over 11.5 (-110)
