The red-hot Philadelphia Phillies (30-18) look to keep their momentum alive as they chase a sixth straight win in the thin air of Coors Field. They’ll take on the struggling Colorado Rockies (8-40) in the third game of a four-game set on Wednesday night at 8:40 p.m. ET.
Oddsmakers aren’t expecting much of a challenge for Philly — they’re -242 favorites on the moneyline with Taijuan Walker on the mound. Colorado, still searching for direction in a brutal season, counters with rookie Carson Palmquist, who’ll be making just his second MLB start.

⚾ Pitching Matchup
| Pitcher | Record | ERA | WHIP | K/9 |
| Taijuan Walker (PHI) | 1-3 | 2.62 | 1.11 | 8.1 |
| Carson Palmquist (COL) | 0-1 | 11.25 | 2.50 | 0.0 |
Walker has been sharp since returning to the rotation and boasts a stingy 2.62 ERA across 34.1 innings. He’ll need to command the zone early to avoid disaster in the most hitter-friendly park in baseball.
Palmquist, meanwhile, had a nightmare debut, surrendering five runs in four innings against the D-backs. He’ll be tested immediately against one of the hottest lineups in the league.
🔄 Recent Matchup Recap
Philadelphia took care of business in Game 2 behind another strong performance from the middle of their order. Harper went 3-for-4 with two RBI, and Nick Castellanos blasted his 10th homer of the season.
The Rockies, meanwhile, struggled to get anything going offensively outside of a two-run double from Ryan McMahon. If Palmquist can’t keep the Phillies in check, this one could get ugly early.

Phillies 9, Rockies 5
- ✅ Pick: Phillies -1.5
- ✅ Total: Over 11.5
- ✅ Prop: Bryce Harper Over 1.5 Hits
There’s just too much firepower in this Phillies lineup right now. With Walker dialed in and Coors Field playing small as always, expect a high-scoring affair — but one that’s never really in doubt.
