The Colorado Rockies (1-3) went against all odds and got their first of the season in the series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays (3-1) on Monday. The Rockies’ lineup scored seven runs in the sixth inning against Blue Jays relievers Spencer Miles and Brendon Little after starter Cody Ponce suffered a knee injury earlier in the game.

The Rockies will hope to continue their momentum at the Rogers Centre as the Blue Jays look to bounce back against the lesser-fancied opponents.

Blue Jays vs. Rockies Game 2: Preview

Despite the loss, the Blue Jays lineup was able to hit four home runs on Monday. George Springer, Andres Gimenez, Davis Schneider and Japanese infielder Kazuma Okamoto, who hit his maiden MLB home run, went yard for the team. Starting for them will be Max Scherzer, whose 2025 postseason was an indication that he still has a lot to give at 41.

Opposing him will be Ryan Feltner, who had a shortened 2025 season, pitching only six times. He held a 4.49 ERA in 30 starts in 2024. Ezeqiuel Tovar leads Colorado with five RBIs in their four games.

Blue Jays vs. Rockies Game 2: Projected Odds, Tips and Prediction

Moneyline: Rockies +218, Blue Jays -271

Total: Over 8.5 (-110), Under 8.5 (-110)

Run Line: Rockies +1.5 (+104), Blue Jays -1.5 (-126)

The Blue Jays remain heavily favored to take the win, although their blowout loss on Sunday must have affected the total and the run line, which seem closer than they should for a matchup that has a clear winner.

Prediction: Blue Jays 5, Rockies 4
