Colorado Rockies vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/01/26

After dropping Monday’s game to the Rockies, the Blue Jays got back in the win column on Tuesday. On Wednesday, we have to conclusion to the Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays, and it is an early afternoon start. The pitching matchup is Kyle Freeland vs Kevin Gausman, and that is one of several reasons the Jays are heavy favorites. The trick with most Rockies games is whether you want to risk catching the one game a week they win, or if you go with the opponent to cover. On Wednesday, I am going with the Blue Jays to cover -1.5.

Freeland is not a good pitcher. He struggled in the opener against the Marlins, failing to get through 5 innings. He limited the damage, but it still wasn’t a good start. The Jays should be able to load up their best righty bats and knock him around. Gausman, on the other hand, looked like he was still in his prime in his first start, spinning 11 Ks and allowing only 1 run. He is unlikely to sustain that all season, but let’s ride him while he is hot. Toronto wins comfortably.

Rockies vs Blue Jays Prediction: Blue Jays -1.5 (-130) available at the time of publishing. Playable at that number.
