Phillies vs Rockies predictions
When you look at the Philadelphia Phillies heading into this matchup at Coors Field, it’s hard not to feel confident in what their top guys can do. Trea Turner’s been an on-base machine all season and should stay hot against Colorado pitching—I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see him swipe a bag, collect a couple of knocks, and cross the plate at least once. Kyle Schwarber, with his signature power, feels like a solid bet to go yard, especially in the thin Denver air, while Bryce Harper and Alec Bohm both look locked in to drive in runs and pick up extra-base hits. And let’s not sleep on J.T. Realmuto, who’s shown he can always chip in with clutch hits behind the dish. The Phillies have a lot of guys who can do damage, so look for the lineup to hang some serious crooked numbers.
On the Colorado Rockies’ side, hope springs eternal—even during a tough season. Hunter Goodman has become one of the few reliable bats in the lineup, and with Philadelphia’s pitching coming into a hitter-friendly park, this could be one of those games where he strings together a couple of hits and maybe even brings a runner home. Jordan Beck is always a threat for a big fly, and Ryan McMahon’s patience could pay off with some timely walks and run production. If Ezequiel Tovar heats up and the rest of the lineup follows suit, Colorado could put together some fireworks of their own in front of the home crowd.
Still, if you’re putting your money on this one, the smart pick has to go with the Philadelphia Phillies. Their deep offense, led by consistent hitters and serious slugging power, should be able to take advantage of the Rockies’ struggling staff. Combine that with a strong outing from Taijuan Walker, and it just feels like the Phillies will keep their win streak rolling. Colorado may put up a fight—especially at home—but Philadelphia has the momentum, depth, and talent to snag another win in this MLB showdown.
