My Prediction
Washington Nationals by 2In this upcoming game, we're looking at a Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals showdown. Colorado's Carson Palmquist is the man on the mound, but he's had an erratic season so far with an ERA of 8.03 and 5 appearances. On the flip side, the Nationals are banking their luck on Jake Irvin, who compares favorably with an ERA of 4.26 over 14 appearances.
Now onto some heavy hitters. The Rockies' top men include Tyler Freeman, the batting goldilocks with a 0.338 average, and Hunter Goodman, who may not dazzle with a 0.273, but makes up for it by driving teammates home, with 15 RBIs chalked up.
The Nationals' lineup doesn't disappoint either. Luis Garcia is a bright spot with a 0.311 batting average and 16 RBIs, supported by James Wood, who and check this out, has smashed 6 home runs and maintained a reputable 0.290 average.
In terms of venue, we're at Nationals Park, a place that doesn’t favor the pitchers or batters significantly - very democratic that one.
Now, reading history like a cheap novel, and considering some numbers that I shouldn't be mentioning, it's quite evident that the Nationals have had the upper hand in previous matchups, winning 3 of the last five, although the Rockies won the most recent one.
Recently, the Rockies are dusting themselves off from a couple of painful losses from the Braves but managed to seal a high-scoring victory against the Giants. The Nationals aren't faring much better with losses to Marlins and the Mets, suggesting some dampened spirits in their camp.
Regular season records tally in favor of the Nationals at 30-41 versus the Rockies lackluster 14-57.
Taking all these factors into consideration, my prediction for the game would be:
