Colorado Rockies at Philadelphia Phillies 4/28/22 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Thursday afternoon MLB action, the Colorado Rockies will battle the Philadelphia Phillies from Citizens Bank Park. The Rockies (10-8) have scored just eight runs in losing the first three games of this series and have fallen three games off the pace in the NL West Division race. Last night, Colorado 1B C.J. Cron connected on his seventh home run of the season during a 7-3 road loss against Philadelphia.

Twenty-seven year old righty Antonio Senzatela (1-1 4.73 ERA) has gotten off to an uneven start for the Rockies. Through 13 plus innings, Senzatela has been knocked around for 26 hits.

The Philadelphia Phillies have scored seven plus runs in each of their last three victories and trail NL East Division leading New York by 4.5 games. During Wednesday's home victory, OF Bryce Harper collected three hits and scored a pair of runs to spark the Philadelphia offense. SP Ranger Suarez (2-0) allowed three runs through six innings to earn the win for the Phillies (9-10).

The Phillies will counter with hard-throwing righty Zack Wheeler (0-3 8.53 ERA) in the series finale. Wheeler has struggled to find his groove in 2022 and has given up 17 hits and four walks across 12 plus frames.
