Pittsburgh Pirates vs Colorado Rockies Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/03/25

After dropping the first 2 games of this series, the Pirates are looking to avoid a sweep at the hands of the Rockies on Sunday afternoon at Coors Field. The pitching matchup in this one pits’ Pittsburgh’s Mitch Keller against Colorado’s Bradley Blalock. Keller posted a 2.93 ERA over 27.2 innings in July, and the Pirates were victorious in 4 of his 5 starts. He struggled a bit in his last outing, as he needed 73 pitches to get through just 2 innings against the Giants. However, he could be in line for a bounce back outing here. Keller has been great on the road, as his ERA drops from 3.94 at home to 3.31 on the road, and his BAA goes from .264 to .211. Look for Keller to limit the damage from the Rockies.

Aside from one blow-up start against the Padres back on May 10, Blalock has held his opponents in check. He missed over 2 months since that starts, but has been great upon his return. Blalock was impressive in July, as the 24-year-old right-hander posted a 1.59 ERA and issued just a single walk over 17 July innings. The Pirates have been among the worst offenses in baseball this season, and while they’ve looked decent at Coors Field, Blalock appears to be in a groove right now. Look to the under in the series finale.
