Rockies vs Marlins Pickswise Expert Predictions

Game Totals Pick
Under 7.5(-115)

The Colorado Rockies look to bounce back after suffering a 2-1 loss in Friday’s opener, as LHP Kyle Freeland and Miami Marlins RHP Sandy Alcantara had an impressive pitching show. Now, the Rockies turn to RHP Michael Lorenzen, fresh off a run with Team Italy at the World Baseball Classic, for his first start of the 2026 MLB campaign. He has already pitched in meaningful games, and that should serve him well as the Rockies look to square the series with a win as moderate underdogs.

The Marlins turn to RHP Eury Perez, as they look to fire out to 2-0. The 22-year-old Dominican right-hander posted a 3-3 record with a 2.93 ERA across 43 IP in eight starts at loanDepot Park in Miami last season, and he allowed just a single home run with 16 walks and 51 strikeouts, limiting teams to a .174 opponent batting average (OBA). The Under has cashed in three straight meetings in South Florida with a total of just 13 runs, or 4.33 runs per game (RPG). These offenses aren’t exactly high and mighty, and we have Lorenzen and Perez, who are somewhat serviceable. We should find that runs are hard to come by in Game 2 for both teams.

Under 7.5 (-115) at time of publishing. Playable to -120.
