Prediction: Colorado Rockies VS Miami Marlins 2025-06-04

The Colorado Rockies, the lovable underdogs, are looking to keep their momentum going against the Miami Marlins. With a whopping 10-50 record, the Rockies have been the punching bag of the MLB, but they've managed to scrape together two straight wins for the second time this season. Hunter Goodman, the Rockies' resident slugger, is on a tear, with 9 home runs and 34 RBIs.

On the other hand, the Marlins are struggling to find their footing, ranking 20th in slugging percentage and 27th in team ERA. Cal Quantrill, the Marlins' starter, has a less-than-stellar 5.84 ERA in 49 1/3 innings pitched.

Given the Rockies' recent spark and the Marlins' lackluster performance, I'm going to take a chance on the underdogs. The Rockies are +110 underdogs, and I think they've got a good shot at pulling off an upset.

My best bet for this game is the Colorado Rockies +1.5 (-149 on FanDuel). The Rockies have been underdogs 57 times this season, and while they've only won 9 of those games, they've shown glimpses of hope. With Goodman and Jordan Beck leading the charge, I think the Rockies can keep this game close and potentially even pull off a win.

As for the total, I'm leaning towards the under. The Marlins have gone over in 32 of their 58 games, but the Rockies have only gone over in 24 of their 60 opportunities. With Quantrill's shaky ERA and Freeland's ability to keep the game in check, I think the under 8.0 (-105 on BetRivers) is a solid bet.

So, there you have it. The Rockies are my dark horse pick for this game, and I'm hoping they can keep their momentum going. Don't @ me.
