(957) Pittsburgh Pirates at (958) Colorado Rockies

8:10pm EDT - Aug 1/2025

THE PLAY: Total Over 11.5 (-113) A Heaney (LHP), A Senzatela (RHP) Must Start

Both the Pirates and the Rockies have been profitable ‘under’ teams this season. However, hitting conditions appear like they'll be ideal and today's series opener at Coors Field is likely to be high-scoring. Colorado starter Antonio Senzatela is 4-14 with an ugly 6.68 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. Pittsburgh starter Andrew Heaney isn't all that much better. He's 5-9 with a 4.79 ERA. Over his past seven outings, six starts, he's 2-4 with an awful 8.79 ERA and 1.71 WHIP. The Pirates' three games here last summer averaged more than 12 runs. With a couple of struggling starters, this one should exceed that mark. *good at 12 or better
