Team notes
The Phillies sit at 3-3. The Rockies are 2-4. Colorado’s batting average is .231, while Philadelphia’s is .220.
Prop bets to consider
A prominent prop on the board is Trea Turner to hit a home run at +540. Lorenzen surrendered three earned runs and a homer in 4.1 innings during his first start. Coors Field is well known as the most home run-friendly park in baseball. Turner has the ability to reach 20-plus home runs in a season.
Prediction and pick
This preview covers odds, pitchers, prop bets and a short prediction for the April 3 meeting. Aaron Nola’s early-season numbers and last season’s 6.01 ERA in 17 starts raise questions. In his first start this year he allowed five hits, two walks, and three earned runs.
Coors Field tends to boost offense for both clubs. The Rockies’ lineup also posts a higher batting average than the Phillies. For bettors seeking value, the Rockies at +168 on the moneyline is the selected play.
