Phillies vs. Rockies Prediction: Expert Picks, Odds, Stats & Best Bets – Monday, May 19 2025

Get the Phillies vs. Rockies prediction with odds, series recap, player props, parlay picks and best bets for this MLB game.

The Philadelphia Phillies (28-18) roll into Coors Field for a Monday night showdown against the struggling Colorado Rockies (8-38). First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m. ET, and the game kicks off a three-game set between one of the hottest teams in the NL and a Rockies squad still searching for consistency. With lefty Cristopher Sanchez toeing the rubber for Philly and veteran Kyle Freeland starting for Colorado, this matchup heavily leans toward the visiting Phillies — on paper.

Sanchez has been red-hot, owning a 2.91 ERA through eight starts, while Freeland is still winless on the year with a bloated 6.15 ERA. The Phillies, led by the bats of Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper, will look to extend their win streak to four games. Meanwhile, the Rockies will try to avoid sinking deeper into MLB’s cellar behind a pitching staff that ranks dead last in ERA and WHIP. Let’s break it all down with odds, insights, props, and our best betting picks.

🧠 Final Phillies vs. Rockies Prediction

Philadelphia is simply too good right now, and Sanchez has been locked in. Colorado, by contrast, can’t keep runners off the bases or balls in the park. Expect the Phillies’ top bats to feast early and for Sanchez to keep mowing down Colorado’s bottom-tier lineup.

The only edge Colorado might find is in Coors Field’s altitude aiding their power numbers — but that won’t be enough.

🔮 Final Score Prediction: Phillies 6, Rockies 4

🏆 Best Bets:

• Phillies -1.5
• Over 10 Runs
• Sanchez Over 5.5 Ks
• Schwarber to go yard
