Colorado Rockies vs Kansas City Royals Game 2 Pick – 4/24/2025

Colorado Rockies vs Kansas City Royals Betting Preview

The Kansas City Royals will take on the Colorado Rockies in the second game of their double-header on April 24, 2025. Both of these teams have struggled this season and will have to deal with the added complications of playing this game after playing a full game before it. That will make bullpen work more valuable than ever for both of these teams, as they look to finish this double-header off with a win.

On the mound, it will be Michael Lorenzen getting the start for the Royals in Game 2. Lorenzen has struggled early in the 2025 season, going 1-3 with an ERA of 4.57. He is coming off of a performance where he gave up four earned runs in 4.2 innings of work against the Detroit Tigers and will need to be better in this game to help his team avoid an upset loss to the Rockies.

On the Colorado side of things, Chase Dollander will get the start in Game 2 of this double-header. Dollander has also struggled early in the year, going 1-2 with a 7.36 ERA. That ERA will be expected to come down as the season progresses, but after giving up four home runs and six earned runs in 4.0 innings of work against the Nationals in his last start, Dollander has some work to do to bring that ERA back to respectability.

The total for Game 2 has been set at 8.5 runs, which has been juiced to the over up to -120. Meanwhile, the under comes in at +100. Before betting on the total, bettors should monitor how both bullpens were used in the first game of the day. Tired bullpens will mean more of a need for the starting pitchers to go deep into this matchup, which could cause problems for both sides depending on how Game 1 goes.
