My Prediction
Washington Nationals by 2In the upcoming matchup between the Washington Nationals and the Colorado Rockies at the Coors Field, we have MacKenzie Gore pitching for the Nationals and Chase Dollander for the Rockies. Gore's put on a solid performance with a 3.52 ERA compared to Dollander's 5.29 ERA this season.
Let's shine a spotlight on some of the titans of the series. For the Nationals, we've got Keibert Ruiz and Nathaniel Lowe in fine fettle. Ruiz is setting the scoreboards on fire with a batting average of .317 along with 11 RBIs. Lowe's equaled the challenge with a .284 batting average and 16 RBIs. On the flip side, we have the Rockies throwing in their wild cards, Kyle Farmer and Brenton Doyle. Farmer's been knocking it out of the park consistently with a .345 batting average, and Doyle's not far behind with .296, so it's looking fairly even on this front.
Our secret machine that reads the runes (we found it at a yard sale, really) is telling us that the Nationals have had some magic in the recent past matchups, with 3 out of 5 wins. But let's not forget about the venue - Coors Field, where the thin air can turn pop flies into home runs, so maybe that'll weigh in the Rockies' favor.
Talking about the regular season records and recent results, both teams need a Hail Mary, with the Nationals standing at 7-12 and the Rockies registering a shocking 3-15. Both have had their fair share of bitter loss recently, but it's a new day, a new match and that's anyone's game.
So, drumrolls, please. For all you wagering wonders, I'd put my chips on the Washington Nationals for the win by a margin of 2. Now, don't you go blaming me if you lose your shirt, remember the golden rule - gamble responsibly.
Albert’s Prediction: Washington Nationals by 2.
