Prop Bets: Houston Astros VS Colorado Rockies 2025-07-02
Astros vs. Rockies: A Cakewalk for the Space Cowboys
The Houston Astros (-258) are about to make the Colorado Rockies feel like they’re playing baseball in a vacuum. With Hunter Brown on the mound—1.74 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and a 6.5 K/9—this game is as close to a sure thing as betting on a squirrel to survive a game of chess. The Rockies, meanwhile, are the MLB’s version of a broken toaster: they used to hit, but now they just spark and sputter. (They’re 25th in hits, 25th in OPS, and 27th in batting average. Yikes.)
Why the Astros Win:
- Hunter Brown’s Magic: He’s allowed 5 or fewer hits in 13 of 16 starts. The Rockies have a .598 OPS against right-handed pitching. Brown vs. “The Suffering” is a mismatch.
- Rockies’ Offense: They’ve scored 3.4 runs per game. Brown’s ERA? 1.74. Math says: Houston’s defense will outscore Colorado’s offense.
Player Props to Target (Because Why Not?):
1. Jake Meyers Over 0.5 Doubles (-250): Meyers has 13 doubles in 2025. The Rockies’ infield is a sieve.
2. Christian Walker Over 1.5 Total Bases (-165): Walker’s slugging .523. Facing Austin Gomber (5.40 ERA)? He’s due.
3. Yainer Diaz Over 0.5 Doubles (-260): Diaz has 12 doubles in 2025. Gomber’s worst stat? Allowing doubles.
Rockies’ Only Hope?
Pray for a Mickey Moniak HR (+650) or a Ryan McMahon 3B (+900). But realistically? The Rockies’ best bet is to hope for a rainout and a refund.
Final Score Prediction:
Astros 5, Rockies 1. Brown fans 7, Rockies strike out 12. And yes, the over/under is 11 runs. Take the under—this game will be a snoozefest.
Bonus Prop Pick: Bet Thairo Estrada to steal a base (+800). Because why not? It’s the Rockies. Miracles happen. 🏕️⚾
