Hot off a 4-0 win in Game 2, the Houston Astros gun for two in a row against the Colorado Rockies on Thursday at Dalkin Park.

Will the Astros, -250 favorites on FanDuel, establish another winning streak against the worst team in the MLB?

The Astros kept the No.1 spot in the AL West after posting a 4-0 win over the Rockies on Wednesday. After scoring a total of three runs in their last two games, Houston scored four runs, and more importantly, held the Rockies scoreless behind masterful pitching from lefty Framber Vasquez, who threw a three-hitter over seven innings. Houston has enhanced their ERA to 3.68 over their last five games.

The Rockies, who own the worst record in the MLB at 38-95, absorbed their fifth loss in six games. They also went scoreless for the third time in their last five matches, underscoring Colorado’s ailing offense this season. The Rockies average 3.8 runs per game on a .238 batting average this season, but these numbers have further plummeted to 1.4 runs per game on a .148 BA over their last five games.

Houston Astros - Colorado Rockies Key Points

  1. Houston is 12-1 SU in its last 13 games when playing at home against Colorado.

  3. Colorado is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games.
  4. Colorado is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games on the road.

Our Houston Astros vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

Pick the Astros to cover -1.5 runs against the Rockies on Thursday. First of all, Houston is 12-1 in its last 13 games when playing at home against Colorado, making Wednesday’s 1-6 loss nothing but a fluke. Secondly, Houston will dispatch the hottest pitcher on their starting rotation, Jason Alexander, who is 5-0 with a 1.93 ERA over his last five starts. Alexander has surrendered a total of six earned runs over 27.3 innings pitched. Although Alexander will be pitching against the Rockies for the first time, I guarantee he will obliterate the Rockies' batting corps with relative ease.

Colorado tapped Kyle Freeland to start on Thursday. Freeland has gone 2-3 with a 5.62 ERA in his last five starts, which is not that horrendous but also not good enough to contain Houston’s offense that generated 5.2 runs per game in the past five games.

Our betting prediction for the Houston Astros vs. the Colorado Rockies: the Astros -1.5 Runs.
