Rockies vs. Athletics Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Friday, June 12

The Rockies are fresh off a 9-3 thumping at the hands of the Chicago Cubs. Despite this, they still brought their total to six series won this season. That's shockingly double the number they had in 2025 (3), and it shows the growth of this young team.

Speaking of which, the Athletics boast the fourth-youngest average age and are starting to realize much of their potential. They are 33-35 and sit just two games behind the Seattle Mariners for first place in a very competitive AL West.

They just wrapped up their first series at Las Vegas Ballpark. The city (not the stadium) will be their home for many years to come, and they gave their fans a treat with a huge series win against a very talented Brewers ballclub.

Rockies vs. Athletics Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks: 6/12/26

Here are the top Rockies vs. Athletics picks to target on Friday, June 12. Today’s MLB picks for PrizePicks include Gage Jump and Nick Kurtz.

Athletics P Gage Jump vs. Rockies: 5 Strikeouts

• Jump has had a tremendous start to his MLB career and now catches his easiest strikeout matchup of the season so far.
• The Rockies strike out at the fourth-highest clip in the majors (23.8%), and that number rises to 25.4% in games played outside of Coors Field.
• Jump has just a 6.38 K/9 so far through three games, but he boasted an impressive 13.26 K/9 over 38 innings in the minors this season, as well as a 10.46 K/9 in 112 innings last year.
• His 10.4% swinging strike rate is indicative of a pitcher who may settle in around the 8-9 K/9 range, so he could be due for some positive regression.
• Sometimes limited pitch counts can be an issue for young pitchers, but Jump threw a season-high 96 in his last start against the Astros.

• Kurtz has 49 RBI already, which breaks down to .73 RBI per game, well above his projection for today.
