Alright, dear listeners, buckle up. We've got the Milwaukee Brewers, the lords of malt and hops themselves, jetting off to joust the Colorado Rockies. Now, remember, we're in the grand baseball battle arena that is Coors Field, where leather meets the wood, and with a reputation for letting the balls fly. Nod towards the batters here.
On the mound, we have Brewers' Tobias Myers, sporting a nice little ERA of 3.298 and a K/9 of 8, facing the Rockies' Cal Quantrill whose stats are, shall we say, slightly less resplendent with a 3.814 ERA and K/9 of 6.9. A slight knuckleballer's tilt towards Milwaukee here.
Christian Yelich stands tall among the Brewers' marquee players, the man's hitting .342 and has stolen more bases than I've had hot dinners this month. Along with Jackson Chourio, both seem to be on a one-way mission to take base after base. And, let’s remember, we’re emphasizing the regular season here.
Rockies boast Brendan Rodgers and Elias Diaz, who appear to be crafty with the bat but still seem to have brought knives to a gunfight going against this Milwaukee lineup. As for the past meetups, looks like the Brewers usually edge out the Rockies in a tight one.
Regular season records? Massive edge to the Brewers. Almost looks like the Rockies maybe took a few too many trips to the Rocky Mountains instead of focusing on the diamond.
So, if anyone's planning on placing bets, here is a tip. No, don't worry, it's not a spoiler alert. Just a hint with a whopping dose of dry wit, folks. Based on the aforementioned evidence (that's legalese for "things we've talked about"), the prediction would look something like this:
