Let's dive into this a baseball matchup, as the Colorado Rockies, precisely as not on fire as a snowball in Antarctica with an abysmal 9-50 record, are taking on the Miami Marlins at the loanDepot Park. Now the ballpark is designed to stifle high-scoring games, hopefully, it doesn't dampen our spirits too, right?
We have Tanner Gordon on the mound for the Rockies, his stats aren't half bad, considering: 3.53 ERA and 1.27 WHIP. But then, the Marlins' Sandy Alcantara walks in with a rather disheartening 8.83 ERA. Clearly, consistency is an art, neither of them appreciate.
Looking at the top batters, the Rockies' Ezequiel Tovar and Tyler Freeman could be the ones to watch. Meanwhile, for the Marlins, keep an eye on Xavier Edwards and Liam Hicks. Remember Edwards's last season? Seems like he's been munching on his Wheaties!
Looking back at those past matchups, seems like Colorado has managed a neat ski-slalom around defeat with three victories in their last five encounters against the Marlins. Interesting, isn't it?
Recent form paints another lovely, vivid picture, doesn't it? The Marlins freshly stung by the Rockies, while the Rockies are stumbling more than a drunk moose. If they were firing blanks before they sure aren't hitting the target recently either.
Based off of...well...more factors than jelly beans in a jar, I'd have to say:
