The Colorado Rockies look to complete a sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates in Game 3 of their series.
Current Form:
The Colorado Rockies have edged the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first two games of their series, leaning on rock-solid pitching and clutch plays on both sides of the ball.
After scoring 18 runs in the final two games of their series against the Athletics, the Pirates’ offense has struggled again, with four runs in two games.
Pitching Matchup:
Rockies RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-8, 7.13 ERA) is coming off back-to-back games in which he allowed one earned run over five innings. He’s facing a Pirates batting row that is averaging 5.0 runs per game on a .254 BA.
Pirates RHP Jared Jones (1-1, 6.23 ERA) gave up five earned runs over four innings in a 2-11 loss to the Athletics on June 15. Jones, who yielded 6 earned runs the last time he tossed against the Rockies in 2024, will be pitching against a much-improved Rockies’ offense that is hitting .253 with 4.6 runs per game this season.

Our Colorado Rockies vs Pittsburgh Pirates Prediction
The Rockies complete a rare sweep of the Pirates by grinding out another close win.
Michael Lorenzen will log five innings again, giving up at least one earned run against the Pirates. Lorenzen has a solid track record against Pittsburgh. In his last three starts against this team, Lorenzen has surrendered three earned runs and 14 hits over 16 innings. Lorenzen also allowed two earned runs over five innings in his start against the Pirates on May 12.
Jared Jones has posted inconsistent results this season, but he should deliver a respectable outing against the Rockies. Pittsburgh has one of the best pitching staffs in baseball this season, with its starters sporting a 3.85 ERA and the bullpen commanding a 3.96 ERA. However, mindboggling as it may be, the Pirates can’t seem to beat the Rockies nowadays.
Caesars Sportsbook is making a big mistake here by raising the total to over/under 12 runs. This opens a window of opportunity for bettors to back the Under and pocket a decent payout at -112.
The Rockies at +122 moneyline remains the best pick in this match, mainly because they have learned to win close games against the Pirates. Colorado is also 4-1 against Pittsburgh in their last 5 meetings at Coors Field.
Our betting prediction for the Pittsburgh Pirates vs. the Colorado Rockies: The Rockies will win.
