Rockies vs. Pirates Odds & Betting Predictions - August 23, 2025

K. Freeland ⬆️ 15.5 Outs (-124 @ BetRivers)(COL) They gave me a 25% boost on BR so I'll use it here to get even better odds (+101). Freeland has been a different pitcher at home vs on the road this season: Home ERA: 6.36 Home AVG: .350 Home SLG: ..531 Away ERA: 4.24 Away AVG: .266 Away SLG: .422 Not overly surprising since his home is at Coors, but it's one of the primary reasons I like this play today. In fact, he's cleared this mark in 7 of his last 10 away starts, while being under in 6 of his last 10 home starts. The matchup is juicy too against a weak PIT offense. PIT holds a sub-.700 OPS against LHP over the last 30 days and rank 18th in wRC+. There standout stat is walk rate, but Freeland doesn't walk many guys. Finally, this bulpen is absolutely gassed in COL. Of their 8 pen arms, six have throw 14+ pitches over the last 2 days with three throwing 30+! They should be able to rely on some length from their veteran Freeland tonight.
