Rockies vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
Over the last two seasons, oddsmakers have had a difficult time making the Rockies as large an underdog as they truly have deserved to be. They are 69-162 since the start of last season, and fading them straight up in each of those games would have yielded a +18.9% ROI.
At 26-43 this season, fading the Rockies in each game would have netted a +4% ROI. I'm sure there's a portion of bettors out there that have not overthought things and simply bet into how bad this team has been and been rewarded, though there is obviously no guarantee that strategy will work as a rule moving forward.
At the time of writing, it's currently unclear who the Rockies will start in this matchup. Zach Agnos is in line for the start, but it still seems that Colorado may go in another direction, or perhaps try to utilize an opener to handle the top of the Athletics order.
Agnos pitched to an xERA of 6.49 and an xFIP of 5.67 across 31 and 1/3 innings in 2025, and has been comparably awful this season in pitching to an xERA of 5.82 and an xFIP of 5.28. He's allowed 1.80 HR/9 and generated ground balls just 35% of the time this season, which could be particularly concerning entering this matchup in Vegas, where balls have really carried due to elevation, lack of humidity and heat thus far.
Over the last 30 days, Colorado's bullpen has pitched to a 30th-ranked ERA of 6.41, an xFIP of 4.62, and a 25th ranked strikeout minus walk-rate of 9.6%. Based on what we saw earlier in the week in the first series of the year at Las Vegas Ballpark, it certainly could be a grind for Agnos and a shaky pen to work through nine innings Friday.
Throughout the last month of play Colorado ranks 27th with an offensive wRC+ of 88, and holds an abhorrent wRC+ of 66 versus left-handed pitching this season. Jake McCarthy is day-to-day with an illness, while Mickey Moniak remains sidelined with an ankle injury. The two have been among the team's more competent bats, with OPS of .774 and .942.
Athletics Betting Preview
Gage Jump will make his fourth big league appearance Friday, and has been effective thus far in pitching to an ERA of 2.45 with an xERA of 3.46 across his first 18 and 1/3 innings. He holds an excellent Stuff+ rating of 109 and has been hard-hit just 30.2% of the time.
His strong results obviously come in a small sample, and it's always a guessing game how a pitcher's stuff will fare in this type of atmosphere (such as at Coors Field). Jump has not been overly reliant on breaking pitches (throws his quality four-seamer 49% of the time), and it's typically breaking pitches that are less effective at altitude.
The Athletics exciting young lineup has not been quite as effective offensively as was expected entering the year, but still holds a wRC+ of 103 this season and has slugged .409. Brent Rooker and Jacob Willson are the only notable absences from the lineup, though Rooker has been much less productive than was expected entering the year to this point.
The Athletics bullpen holds the second-best ERA in baseball over the last 30 days and ranks ninth in xFIP in that time frame. The unit is in good shape after an off-day on Thursday, after being a key reason for the team's series win over the Brewers earlier in the week in the first series of the year at Las Vegas Ballpark.
Rockies vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
Whether the Rockies ultimately start Agnos in this matchup or not, the pitching plan feels quite unconvincing in a ballpark where things could get out of hand in a hurry. Piecing together nine innings could be difficult, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Athletics could hang up a crooked offensive total in this matchup.
Jump is obviously unproven at the MLB level, but he still feels like a fairly solid option versus a Rockies side that has been horrible versus lefties this season. The Athletics' bullpen offers another considerable edge beyond Jump, and that edge feels particularly important in this matchup.
At -115 there looks to be value backing the Athletics to cover the run-line Friday.
Pick: Athletics -1.5 (-115 — FanDuel, Play to -120)
