The Pittsburgh Pirates and the Colorado Rockies meet Saturday in MLB action from Coors Field. We will look at this from a betting perspective and determine the best bets for this game. Here’s a Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Colorado Rockies prediction.
The Pittsburgh Pirates will send out Paul Skenes for the start here and Skenes is 6-6 with a 2.85 ERA and 99 strikeouts this season. Tomoyuki Sugano will start for the Rockies and is 7-4 with a 4.79 ERA and 41 strikeouts this season.
The Pittsburgh Pirates come into this game looking to bounce back from a 4-3 loss at the hands of the Rockies on Friday to fall to 38-38 this season. After this series, the Pirates will head on the road for a game against the Seattle Mariners.
Oneil Cruz has 66 hits including 10 doubles, 14 home runs and 44 RBIs while Ryan O’Hearn has 64 hits with 8 doubles, 11 home runs and 41 RBIs this season. Nick Gonzales has 77 hits with 11 doubles and 33 RBIs while Brandon Lowe has 65 hits with 17 doubles, 18 home runs and 49 RBIs and Bryan Reynolds has 77 hits with 17 doubles, 2 triples, 10 home runs and 48 RBIs as well this season.
The Colorado Rockies come into this game looking to add on to their win over the Pirates from Friday to improve to 29-47 this season. After this series, the Rockies will take on the Boston Red Sox at home.
TJ Rumfield has 72 hits with 14 doubles, 2 triples, 11 home runs and 38 RBIs while Ezequiel Tovar has 54 hits with 14 doubles, 5 home runs and 24 RBIs. Hunter Goodman’s added 66 hits with 12 doubles, 21 home runs and 39 RBIs. Troy Johnston has 73 hits with 21 doubles, 3 home runs and 34 RBIs. Willi Castro also has 62 hits with 13 doubles, 5 home runs and 32 RBIs.
I’m on the over in this one. Both teams have been smacking righties this month, and that’s the same for Colorado with or without those games in Las Vegas. I think the Pirates get to Sugano, but I think the Rockies could get to Skenes considering Skenes hasn’t been the sharpest in 2026 and his lone start at Coors saw Skenes yield 4 runs in 5 innings of work. All in all I like the over here.
