The Colorado Rockies will travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to face the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park with the first pitch scheduled for 6:40 PM ET on Tuesday evening and will air on NBC Sports Philadelphia and ROTV.

The Colorado Rockies enter this game with one of the worst records in the National League with a record of 4-12 and are on a three-game losing streak following Monday’s 1-2 loss in extra innings on the road in Game 1 of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies and have lost by an average margin of 2.67 runs per game during their losing streak while also having lost five of their last six games. 

The Rockies have not won a series this season and with a loss in Game 2 of the series against the Phillies will have lost their first six series to start the 2024 MLB season. Colorado has struggled in the series against Philadelphia as they have lost eight of the last ten and two of the previous three games in the series while being outscored by the Phillies by an average of 3 to 4.6 runs per game over the last ten with both teams averaging 3 runs per game over the last three games in the series. 

The Colorado Rockies will look to avoid their 6^th straight series loss of the season and even the series with a win in Game 2 when they travel to face the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Philadelphia Phillies have struggled to score runs this season as they enter this game having averaged 3.75 runs per game and have scored two runs or fewer in three of their last four games including Monday’s 2-1 win in extra innings in Game 1 of the series against the Colorado Rockies. 

The pitching staff is one of the main reasons the Phillies have had close games this season and have only allowed an average margin of 3.3 runs per game over their last 11 games and have allowed three runs or fewer in nine of those contests. The Phillies have dominated the series against the Rockies as they have won eight of the last ten by an average margin of 1.6 runs per game and have won two of the last three meetings. 

The Philadelphia Phillies will look to win their 3^rd series of the season when they host the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday evening.

BetOnline has the Philadelphia Phillies listed as -235 moneyline favorites at home against the Colorado Rockies in Game 2 of the series on Tuesday evening. Colorado has won eight of the previous ten meetings and has won by an average margin of 1.6 runs per game in those contests and has won two of the previous three games in the series with both teams averaging 3 runs per game in those contests.

Game 1 of the series was a pitching duel with Cal Quantrill pitching six innings for the Rockies and only allowing one run while Aaron Nola pitched 7 ? innings for the Phillies and recorded nine strikeouts while allowing a run. The Phillies have won eight of the previous ten and two of the last three games in the series while having won by an average margin of 1.6 runs per game over the last ten games in the series. 

As a result, I am taking the run line for the Philadelphia Phillies at -1.5 when they host the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday evening.
