My Prediction
Detroit Tigers by 3Well, pull up a chair and pop some popcorn because we're in for quite the spectacle as the Detroit Tigers visit the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, a location known for turning pop-flies into home runs due to the light air. But bettors beware, reading this match-up is like playing Sudoku on a rollercoaster.
The party begins with the mound, folks. Jackson Jobe is set to start for the Tigers, pitching an amusingly decent 3.52 ERA in 5 appearances this season. Chase Dollander, Colorado's answer to Jobe, seems to have caught a case of the yips considering his blooper-worthy 6.86 ERA.
If you are looking at the Tigers' top players, one could easily mistake them for Avengers. Javier Baez is practically Thor with a rubber duck, boasting an impressive .333 batting average and 12 RBIs. Not far behind, Kerry Carpenter looks like he eats baseballs for breakfast. He's already knocked 6 over the fence this season.
On the Rockies end, they also bring a decent card to the table. Jordan Beck seems to have a lucky rabbit's foot somewhere, posting a .286 batting average and 10 RBIs, while Hunter Goodman isn't looking too shabby either.
Bringing the past to the forefront, there's a storied history between these two, but recent headlines suggest a lopsided affair. Tigers showing an amusing dominance. Also, those good at arithmetic will tell you Detroit's 22 wins topple Colorado's 6 in the regular season race.
Most recent testimonies at the church of baseball confirm the dominance of the Tigers over the Rockies. Detroit holds a recent victory parade, while the Rockies seem to have grey rainy clouds on most days.
Taking everything into account, including factors that I will neither confirm nor deny using...
