The Colorado Rockies recently secured a win against the Miami Marlins with a score of 6-4. Hunter Goodman led the charge with two home runs and three RBIs, contributing significantly to the team’s success. Germán Márquez pitched five innings, striking out six batters, which helped keep the Marlins’ offense in check.

The Rockies have shown their power with 52 home runs this season, ranking 20th in the league. Their ability to hit doubles, with 89 so far, places them 14th, highlighting their potential to score runs. The lineup features consistent hitters like Hunter Goodman, who leads the team with a .273 batting average and nine home runs.

Pitcher Tanner Gordon will start for the Rockies, bringing an ERA of 4.24 into the game. He faces a Miami lineup that has struggled against solid pitching. With Sandy Alcantara starting for the Marlins, who has an ERA of 8.47, the Rockies have a good chance to capitalize and secure another win.

The Marlins Can Win If…

The Miami Marlins are looking to bounce back after a close 6-4 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Jesús Sánchez was a standout performer, going 3 for 4 with two doubles and an RBI. Otto Lopez and Liam Hicks also contributed with two hits each, showing the depth in the Marlins’ lineup.

The Marlins have been consistent with their hitting, ranking 8th in the league with a .249 batting average. They also have a solid on-base percentage, sitting at 12th in the league. With key players like Kyle Stowers, who has 10 home runs and 32 RBIs, the Marlins have the potential to put up runs against any opponent.

On the mound, Sandy Alcantara will be starting for the Marlins. Although his ERA is currently 8.47, Alcantara has shown the ability to pitch effectively in the past. If he can find his rhythm, the Marlins have a good chance to secure a win against the Rockies.

The Lean

The Marlins are favored with a moneyline of -177 against the Rockies at +150. The Marlins have a better batting average and on-base percentage compared to the Rockies. My model projects the Marlins to win 5-3. Based on these factors, I recommend betting on the Marlins to win straight up.

The current over/under line is set at 8.5 runs. The Rockies’ pitching has an ERA of 5.60, while the Marlins’ ERA is 5.11. My model projects a total score of 8 runs. Given these pitching stats, I recommend taking the under for this game.

Hunter Goodman Powers Rockies Toward First Series Win of 2025

Hunter Goodman is becoming the heart of a struggling Colorado Rockies team, and on Monday, he gave fans something to cheer about. The 25-year-old catcher blasted two homers and drove in three runs in a 6-4 win over the Marlins, giving the Rockies a chance to win their first series of the season.

That win also snapped an eight-game losing streak and came just after the team set an unwanted record — the first team since 1901 to lose 50 games before hitting 10 wins. With a 10-50 start, Colorado is still pacing toward a historically bad season, but a victory Tuesday would be a small, meaningful step forward.

Goodman, now hitting .273 with 9 home runs and 34 RBIs, has become a steady presence in the Rockies’ lineup. Once considered a corner bat, Goodman pushed this spring to catch full-time and has started 32 games behind the plate, embracing one of the game’s toughest positions.

“I think catching helps me at the plate,” Goodman told the Denver Post. “Being able to relax and feel more comfortable this year has been huge.”

Alcantara’s Woes Continue as Marlins Try to Regroup

On the other side, Sandy Alcantara’s comeback hasn’t gone as planned. Since returning from Tommy John surgery, the 2022 Cy Young winner has posted an 8.47 ERA, including a 10.09 ERA during an eight-start winless streak.

He’ll get the ball Tuesday against Colorado, a team he’s 2-2 against with a 5.11 ERA lifetime.

“I’m strong. I believe in myself,” Alcantara said, responding to recent criticism. His last start was a no-decision — a moral victory after seven straight losses.

The Marlins, meanwhile, continue to struggle at the plate and on the mound, having dropped the series opener despite out-hitting the Rockies 10-8.

If the Rockies can get one more solid outing — potentially from rookie Tanner Gordon (1-2, 4.24 ERA) — they could break a 19-series losing streak, a modern MLB record.
