Rockies vs. Pirates odds, picks: Advanced computer MLB model releases selections for Wednesday matchup

SportsLine's projection model generated selections for Wednesday's matchup between the Colorado Rockies and the Pittsburgh Pirates

The Colorado Rockies and Pittsburgh Pirates match up in a National League matinee clash at 12:35 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Pittsburgh is listed as a -135 favorite (risk $135 to win $100) at Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under is set at eight (see up-to-date odds for every game this week on our MLB odds page). Before making any Rockies vs. Pirates picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and it is off to a strong start to the 2022 season. It's on a 41-30 roll on top-rated MLB money-line picks through seven weeks, returning almost $600 for $100 players. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns!

The model knows the Rockies have offensive strengths. Colorado leads the NL with a .260 batting average, and the Rockies are in the top five of the league in hits, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. The Rockies are also in the top five in strikeout avoidance. Colorado is facing a Pittsburgh offense that is dead-last in the NL in runs scored, and Colorado can benefit from that shortcoming.

The model also knows the Pirates are sending a strong pitcher to the mound in Zach Thompson. The 28-year-old right-hander has a 0.53 ERA in the month of May. This month, Thompson has allowed only a single earned run in 17 innings, scattering only nine hits. Opponents have a .383 OPS against Thompson in May, and he has a career 3.72 ERA.

Now, it has set its sights on Rockies vs. Pirates. We can tell you the model is leaning over the total, and it also says one team has all the value! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any MLB picks.
