If you're wanting to talk baseball, there's no better conversation right now than the upcoming clash between the Colorado Rockies and the Texas Rangers. I tell ya, folks are calling Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX a pitching paradise this season.
Colorado Rockies is sending Antonio Senzatela to the mound who has had quite a tough season with a 5.98 ERA, struggling to keep the ball low. On the contrary, the Texas Rangers have Patrick Corbin, proudly boasting a 3.25 ERA this season. It's looking like Corbin has a solid advantage, if I do say so myself.
The Rockies are playing with some firepower – Hunter Goodman consistently pounding the fences and Jordan Beck having quite a decent run. Mike Toglia? Well, he could use some improvement. On the flip side with Texas Rangers, Josh Smith and Wyatt Langford are showing some considerable stats, while Josh Jung, Adolis Garcia, and Marcus Semien can't seem to line up their magic.
In a jog down memory lane, recent matches between these two teams show the Texas Rangers having the upper hand. The Regular Season Records don't paint a pretty picture for the Rockies either, losing substantially more games than their counterpart. And looking at the most recent results, it appears that the Rangers are galloping with confidence, while the Rockies, well... there seems to be some avalanche causing them trouble.
To predict this baseball riddle, Mountain versus Horse, one could say past performance, player stats, and venue all point towards a Texas win. Hold onto your cowboy hats, ladies and gentlemen, it should be quite a show.
