Although the Pirates-Rockies series in Colorado was probably the Pirates' highest-hitting series of the entire year, they still lost that series 1-2. In the follow-up at PNC Park, Pittsburgh took advantage of the high ERA of opposing pitcher Sensatela, who was removed from the game after just 4 innings of action.
The Pirates won 9-0 in Game 1, although the home runs came after they had already built a lead. Horwitz hit his sixth of the year, and Pham hit his seventh of the season. It was a six-double game for the Pirates, while Ashcraft again produced a strong outing as a pitcher, improving his record to 4-2; he pitched 5 scoreless innings.
Once again, the Rockies were coming off a strong hitting streak in their previous series in Colorado but failed to do so on the road. Colorado produced a poor hitting night with just three hits, recording just one walk and striking out 9 times.

Our Colorado Rockies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
Freeland heads into Saturday's game with one of the worst records of any pitcher this year: 3 Ws with 12 Ls. For Freeland, this is his ninth straight season with the Rockies; with a month and a half of action left, he's just two losses away from recording the most Ls he's ever had in a single season; he lost 14 times in 2023.
However, Freeland's last road outing was positive: he blanked the Cardinals by 7.1 in St. Louis.
This is a game between the worst offense in MLB against the third worst; the first PIT-COL that results in a Game Total UNDER could be on the horizon in 2025.
Our prediction for Rockies vs Pirates is: Under 8.5 runs.
