Following a thoughtful analysis of multiple specifics, we've got a game on our hands and it seems like we'll be seeing the Colorado Rockies pit their batting skills against the Milwaukee Brewers at the warmly acquainted American Family Field in Milwaukee - a fairly balanced ground for batter or pitcher. Wonder if this game's going to make us eat popcorn or go get another hotdog.
Let's not neglect the hurlers on the mound. Rockies fans have been putting a lot of hope into Antonio Senzatela despite his rather unfortunate ERA of 6.69, while Brewers pitcher Quinn Priester has been making away with a clean 3.71 ERA, quite contrasted figures, wouldn't you agree?
It would seem our batters are maintaining celebratory consistency this season. Brewers' Yelich has been chewing up the pitch with a batting average of .376 and 25 RBIs. Frelick, with his .330 and 15 RBIs is a commendable mention as well. Let's see if they can both handle the heat. On the other end, Rockies' Tyler Freeman is keeping up the chase with a .377 batting average and Goodman trailing him with a .311. If the game of baseball was a car race, we'd be watchin' an intense Drag Race.
Looking back, the past matchups between these two teams have been wildly inconsistent. I mean, just last year the Rockies managed to squeeze out a victory and then recently, the Brewers dusted them off with a neat 10 runs, leaving the Rockies in the dust.
Also, a quick peek at their regular season scores shows the Brewers sitting pretty at 46-36, while the Rockies seem to have rolled themselves into a sticky wicket with an 18-64 record, quite the stream of unfortunate events. The recent results aren't doing them any favors either. Talk about baseball-ing on hard mode, eh Rockies?
Long story short? Put the kids to bed, pour yourself a soda, and get ready for the rock-paper-scissors of baseball games. Predicting this one is less of a fastball and more of a curveball, if you catch my drift.
