Perez, Pasquantino, India, Massey, Isbel, Renfroe, Melendez, and Biggio are some of the Royals' key bats who started the first half of the MLB season completely cold, and none of them are averaging more than 220 AVG this season. With this, the Royals have a 2-8 record in their last 10 games, and while they are already five games behind the Tigers, they have a three-game series against the even weaker Rockies at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals will be overwhelming favorites to win Game 1 with odds of around -215.

The Royals are averaging just 2.9 runs, but the Rockies can't boast, as they are averaging only 3.3 with the advantage of playing at Colorado's altitude. Outside of Coors Field, the Rockies' offense has been next to nothing, and they recently made a change in hitting coach in an attempt to remedy the situation. Even if they hit, it's their poor pitching that gives them the worst record in MLB, their worst pitching in ERA and WHIP, and second-worst in K/9.

Even so, the Rockies came to Kansas City as underdogs for the three games in 2023, and the Rockies ended up winning the series 2 games to 1.

Colorado Rockies - Kansas City Royals Key Points

  1. Royals' pitching allows 10th fewest HRs in MLB
  2. Rockies' starter Kris Bubic has a 1.88 ERA in 2025
  3. Royals' offense only averages 6.8 hits per game
  4. Rockies have 2nd-worst FLD% in MLB

Our Colorado Rockies vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

The Rockies don't have a player who has hit more than 3 HRs this season. They'll have a tough time hitting long HRs against Bubic, the Royals' starter, who has had a good season overall and only allowed one HR in 24.0 IP. The bookies' 8.5-run game total line seems a bit high, considering both the Rockies and Royals have only posted a Game Total of OVER in betting in three of their last 10 respective games. Our prediction for Rockies vs Royals is: Under 8.5
