The Pittsburgh Pirates are expected to enter Sunday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies as heavy favorites at -382 with CY Young Award contender Paul Skenes scheduled to hit the bump.
The Pirates have their last three games and four of their last five following their surgical 5-1 win over the Rockies on Saturday. For the second straight day, the Pirates demonstrated imperious pitching by their starter and bullpen, yielding just one earned run and six hits. After exploding for 9 runs in the series opener, the Pirates scored five runs in Game 2, which was ignited by a two-run homer from veteran slugger Andrew McCutchen in the second inning.
The Rockies remain at the bottom of the MLB after dropping three games in a row and four of their last five assignments. After a decent offensive showing against the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers last week, Colorado has so far scored one run after 18 innings in this current series with the Pirates. Colorado ranks second-to-last in the league in total runs (491) and 23rd in batting average (.239). They also own the worst ERA this season at 6.01.

Our Colorado Rockies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
I would be surprised if the Pirates don’t win this game by at least two runs. They have destroyed the Rockies in their last three meetings, averaging 7.67 runs per game while holding the Rockies to 2.67 runs per contest. The Pirates will also start their ace, Paul Skenes, who sports an outstanding 2.16 ERA this season.
The Rockies will dispatch McCade Brown, a 25-year-old right-handed pitcher who is set to make his first MLB start against arguably the best hurler in the game today. The Rockies, who are giving up a 7.33 ERA and averaging 3.7 runs in their last five games, are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games against Pittsburgh. Only a miracle can save the Rockies from another heavy beatdown from the Pirates.
Our betting prediction for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the Colorado Rockies: the Pirates -1.5 Runs.
