My Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers by 3Here we are, staring down the barrel of another raucous game of baseball with the Colorado Rockies making their journey to duke it out with the Milwaukee Brewers over at the American Family Field.
Our starting pitchers for this suspense-filled game have their stats lined up for all to see. Let's blow the dust off these numbers, shall we? For the Rockies, it's Kyle Freeland who's currently wearing a somewhat unbecoming 5.26 ERA and 1.55 WHIP for the season. Then we've got Jose Quintana trumpeting the Brewers' side, who with his 3.03 ERA and 1.42 WHIP, seems to have the significant edge here.
Peeping at some notable players for the Rockies, we have Tyler Freeman who's batting an impressive .375 and good ol' Mickey Moniak who's boasting a .308 average. Not to be outdone, the Brewers' lineup includes the star-studded Christian Yelich leading the pack with a .387 average.
Past matchups have been a mixed bag of tricks between these two, with both teams trading blows. The Brewers managed to lower the boom in their most recent showdown, taking home a 7-1 victory over the Rockies. But hey, past glories only fill up the trophy case, right?
The Brewers currently sit pretty with a much healthier 45-36 win-loss record compared to the Rockies' rather dismal 18-63 record. Rocky-road indeed for the Rockies. But recent history isn't all sunshine and rainbows for both teams. The Rockies have been dealing with their share of losses, while the Brewers, despite going through a few hiccups, have managed to seal more victories.
Looking at the grand scheme of things, the Rockies might just need a couple of miracles to win this one. And while I'm known for my unshakable faith in the game's unpredictable charm, even I have my limits. If I were a betting man, my hues would lean towards the Brewers.
