Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow<\/a><\/p>\nOddsmakers have set Houston as a pretty heavy road favorite, as the Colorado offense (28th in OPS) hasn\u2019t been on the same level as the Astros this season.<\/p>\n
Houston will have an opener on the mound in Cody Bolton, who has one relief appearance so far in the 2026 season. He\u2019ll take on righty Ryan Feltner (0.00 ERA), who is looking to rebound from a rough six-start season in 2025.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a look at the odds, my favorite prop bet and a prediction for this interleague series opener.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Feltner went just three innings in his 2026 debut, and the Colorado bullpen (five homers allowed this season) is certainly beatable for a bat like Alvarez.<\/p>\n This season, Alvarez has homered four times and leads MLB in slugging (.900) and OPS (1.478). He\u2019s absolutely worth a bet at nearly 3\/1 odds at the homer-friendly Coors Field.<\/p>\n Astros vs. Rockies Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n Feltner has a career ERA of 5.15, so I\u2019m worried about him at a hitter-friendly ballpark like Coors Field against this potent Houston offense.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Rockies have picked up a few wins this season, including an upset of Toronto where they scored 14 runs, but they still rank 28th in the league in OPS and 27th in runs scored. In fact, the Rockies have 16 runs over their eight other games.\u00a0<\/p>\n Houston\u2019s bullpen has a 5.85 ERA this season, so the fact that the team is using an opener isn\u2019t ideal, but I am going to trust the best offense in baseball (so far) to earn the win. The Rockies won just 43 games last season and were 31 games under .500 at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n Until their offense shows signs of turning things around, Colorado is an easy team to fade at this price.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pick: Houston Moneyline (-175 at DraftKings)<\/a><\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest\u00a0DraftKings promo code<\/a>\u00a0offer today.
