Philadelphia Phillies

Phillies (30-18) VS Rockies (8-40)

May 22, 2025 | 3:10 PM ET | Coors Field, Denver

Colorado Rockies
Moneyline Pick - Philadelphia Phillies (-305): B

The Phillies come into this one rolling, with a six-game winning streak and a pitching staff that’s been lights-out, backed by a reliable bullpen. They take on a Rockies team that’s dropped four straight and is the first team this season to reach the 40 loss mark, putting them on pace for a 25-137 record come the end of the season. Even with a few bumps in their own lineup, Philadelphia has more than enough firepower and pitching stability to maintain control against a Colorado squad that hasn’t found much traction all season.

Honestly, it’s tough to make a case for the Rockies given their current form and roster situation. The Phillies might give little return, but all signs point to them taking care of business here. Backing Philadelphia here is objectively the right move, sometimes the obvious play is obvious for a reason.

Over/Under Pick - Under 11, (-110): B

Philadelphia enters this matchup riding a six-game winning streak, supported by strong starting pitching and a bullpen that’s in good shape. On the other side, Colorado is mired in a prolonged slump and continues to struggle with key players out of the lineup, leading to an offense that has struggled to put up runs. The combination of a pitcher-friendly approach from Philadelphia and the Rockies’ lack of offensive punch suggests a slower-paced contest, despite the usual scoring environment in Denver.

If you’re eyeing the total, the number set at 11 just feels a bit too ambitious considering the trends for both teams. Given the Phillies’ recent form on the mound and the Rockies’ inability to break through offensively, the under looks like a smart play. It’s not flashy, but sometimes sticking with the obvious angles pays off—Grade B for balancing confidence and value on this under.

Spread Pick - Philadelphia Phillies, -1.5 (-195): B-

The Phillies roll into this game with a six-game win streak, and their offense looks poised to keep producing against a Rockies team in the midst of a potentially record setting season, for all the wrong reasons. Philadelphia has the edge on the mound and at the plate, even with a few lineup questions, thanks to steady contributions up and down the roster. Colorado, still missing some key bats and struggling to get quality outings from its starters and bullpen, faces a tough challenge in trying to slow down one of the league’s hottest teams.

If you’re thinking about the run line, the current trends and matchup make Philadelphia a logical pick to cover, even if the odds aren’t ideal. The disparity between these clubs is pretty clear right now, so backing the Phillies at -1.5 is a solid option, even -2.5 feels like a reasonable take here honestly, earning a B- grade due to the price but still offering good value for a single-unit play.
