Rockies vs Athletics MLB Betting Preview
The Rockies and Athletics will duke it out on Sunday afternoon in an interleague battle set to be played at the Athletics’ new Las Vegas Ballpark.
While the Rockies’ Coors Field has always been notoriously known as the park that generates the most scoring in baseball, the Athletics’ new park may just give Coors a run for its money.
This is the second and final series the A's will be hosting at Las Vegas Ballpark, with the first rendition against the Brewers resulting in a whopping 48 runs across the series’ three contests.
That said, I expect plenty of runs to be scored on Sunday afternoon as well.
Right-hander JT Ginn is set to take the mound for the A's, while the Rockies will be going with highly-touted Japanese prospect Tomoyuki Sugano.
In just his second season pitching in the Majors, Sugano was not given the best opportunity to shine, having to pitch at Coors Field, where the Denver thin air density results in the most runs being scored amongst all ballparks.
In 13 starts this season, Sugano has recorded a 4.08 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP, which is actually not terrible given the hitter-friendly ballpark conditions in Colorado.
Ginn has fared far better in 2026 thus far, having recorded a 3.15 ERA across 15 appearances on the mound this season- ranking 20th amongst all starting pitchers.
Rockies vs Athletics Pick, Betting Analysis
Given Sunday afternoon’s contest has the highest total on the entire slate, I favor targeting player prop markets from a betting perspective.
Specifically, I feel great backing Athletics’ lefty slugger Nick Kurtz to have a massive day at the plate.
Kurtz boasts elite raw power on the left side of the plate and tremendous plate discipline, especially considering he is in just his second MLB season.
While Kurtz has met Sugano just three times, the Athletics’ youngster recorded a hit off the Rockies’ right-handed veteran.
Given the ideal ballpark conditions and Kurtz’s heater at the plate, I favor targeting the young lefty to both exceed his 2.5 HRR mark and also to smash a homer on Sunday afternoon.
For a third betting angle, I will be taking a shot on the Athletics moneyline as I feel they definitely have a pitching edge and will be looking to impress in Vegas.
Picks:
- A's ML
- Nick Kurtz Over 2.5 HRR
- Nick Kurtz Home Run
