The Colorado Rockies and Houston Astros meet Thursday in MLB action at Daikin Park. Here’s an Astros vs. Rockies Prediction. This article will include an Astros vs. Rockies Pick.
The Colorado Rockies are 6-12 on the year and play the Padres and Dodgers next. The Colorado Rockies are batting .235 on the season and have a .303 OBP, and a .378 slugging percentage. The Colorado Rockies pitching staff has a 4.12 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. TJ Rumfield leads the Colorado Rockies with 17 hits and 8 RBI while Ezequiel Tovar and Hunter Goodman have combined for 32 hits and 13 RBI.
Tomoyuki Sugano gets the ball for the Colorado Rockies, and he is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA and 12 strikeouts this season. This will be Sugano’s first career game against the Houston Astros.
The Houston Astros are 8-11 on the year and play the Guardians and Cardinals next. The Houston Astros are batting .269 on the season and have a .359 OBP, and a .440 slugging percentage. The Houston Astros pitching staff has a 6.17 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP. Yordan Alvarez leads the Houston Astros with 21 hits and 17 RBI, while Jose Altuve and Christian Walker have combined for 39 hits and 22 RBI.
Ryan Weiss gets the ball for the Houston Astros, and he is 0-2 with a 7.36 ERA and 15 strikeouts this season. This will be Weiss’ second career game against the Colorado Rockies.
If the Rockies weren’t the Rockies, I’d take a stab at the big plus money. Weiss isn’t off to a great career with his 7.36 ERA and 2.09 WHIP through 11 innings. The Rockies saw Weiss at Coors and tagged him for eight hits and six earned runs in 2.2 frames. No, thanks. With that said, Mejia has a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP through 8.1 innings. Both pitchers have also had issues with control and have walked a combined 10 batters. I’m going to side with the over in this spot. I can’t get behind either of these pitchers right now.
