Rockies vs. Athletics Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Saturday, June 13

The Rockies showed some quality fight in Friday’s game vs. the A’s, coming back to take a 4-2 lead before the bullpen immediately squandered that in the next few innings. 

That is no surprise for this Rockies team, which has boasted one of the worst bullpens in baseball for the better part of a decade; this season is no different, ranking third-worst in MLB in xERA.

The Athletics continued their hot surge last night, bringing their overall record to 34-35 this season, good for second in the AL West and just two games behind the Seattle Mariners for the division lead.

They have been on fire during their six-game “home stand” in their future home city of Las Vegas. A’s fans have to be excited about the prospects of this team going forward and how they’ve been ripping the ball in Las Vegas. 

With an average age of just 27.1 years old, this is the third-youngest team in the majors, and they are loaded with cornerstones up and down the roster, making them a team to be on the lookout for in the coming years. 

Rockies vs. Athletics Winner Payout, Over/Under – Saturday, June 13

Rockies vs. Athletics Prediction on Spread for June 13, 2026

Here are the key game stats and trends behind our Rockies vs. Athletics prediction on the spread for Saturday, June 13.

Lock in your Rockies vs. Athletics prediction on PrizePicks before the game starts 

• Following their cover last night, the A’s improved their against-the-spread (ATS) record to 37-32-0 (53.6%) this season.
• The Athletics have now covered the spread in four straight games, including three against a Milwaukee Brewers team that has been one of the best ATS teams in the league.
• The starting pitching matchup is weak in both directions, but Rockies SP Kyle Freeland has a disastrous 6.38 xERA this season. That’s much worse than Athletics SP Joey Estes, who has a 4.43 xERA across 127.2 innings last season.
• The Athletics offense has been cooking with gas during their homestand at Las Vegas Ballpark. The ranking 2nd in wRC+ (148) over the last seven days. 
• The Rockies offense has a 98 wRC+ over that same timespan, 10th-worst in the majors.
• The A’s bullpen has also come to life in recent games. Their pen shut down an extremely talented Brewers offense in a ballpark built for offense, leading to a 3.47 xFIP over the last week, the third-best mark in MLB.
• This bullpen edge is even more pronounced against the Rockies, who have been a disaster in the back end all season. They have the third-worst bullpen in the league with a 4.63 xFIP for the season.

Rockies vs. Athletics Picks, Player Stats for PrizePicks: 6/13/26

Here are the top Rockies vs. Athletics picks to target on Saturday, June 13. Today’s MLB picks for PrizePicks include Rockies pitcher Kyle Freeland and A’s 1B Nick Kurtz.

Rockies P Kyle Freeland vs. Athletics: 89.5 Pitches

• If there was any game for Kyle Freeland to get yanked early, it may be this one tonight in Las Vegas, in a brutal environment for run prevention (see above).
• The Athletics own by far the highest run total of the night (8.2) and have been one of the best offensive teams in baseball over the last 14 days, ranking third in wRC+ (129) over that span.
• Freeland has already thrown fewer than 89.5 pitches in five of his last six starts.
• If by some miracle Freeland is able to navigate his way through this game with success, there is still a decent chance the Rockies manager won’t want him facing the A’s a third time through the lineup.
• Freeland is giving his highest opponent batting average (.333) the third time through the lineup this season, per FanGraphs. 

Add Kyle Freeland to your PrizePicks Lineup now.

Athletics 1B Nick Kurtz vs. Rockies: 0.5 RBIs

• I wrote this same spot up yesterday for Kurtz, and there is absolutely no reason to go away from the money man again tonight.
• With his RBI last night, he now has 50 RBI’s in just 68 games, which breaks down to .73 RBI’s per game, well above his projection today.
• With this game being played on the moon (Las Vegas Ballpark), the Athletics boast a staggering 8.2 implied run total. This should provide Kurtz with ample opportunity to knock in some runs this evening.
• Freeland has been a disaster this season, giving up a 40.5% fly-ball and 38.8% hard-hit rate against left-handed hitters.
• To say Kurtz is seeing the ball well right now would be an understatement; he is rocking an otherworldly 247 wRC+ over the last seven days.
