My Prediction
Milwaukee Brewers by 2Alrighty, let's set the scene. Milwaukee's ready to host Colorado at good ol' American Family Field in Wisconsin. The Brewers, being favored by the silent statisticians, sharpen their claws with Christian 'The Crusher' Yelich, leading the batting volley along with young guns Brice Turang and Jacky 'The Smasher' Chourio. Chad Patrick, a familiar face on the mound this season, with his impressive 9.3 K/9, is prepared to add more stripes to his 15-season-appearances-tiger.
Now, the Rockies are looking like they're hiking up a steep cliff. Their starting pitcher, German Marquez, doesn't seem to have let a single ball go this season, but dust off the data from last season, and phew! That's a 6.750 ERA with a WHIP of 2.250.
Top players? The Rockies do have a shining star in Tyler Freeman, who's been hitting the ball like it owes him money. But that's just one star in an otherwise cloudy sky. Notable mentions for Braxton "No Home runs" Fulford and Mickey "I've got six" Moniak.
And lord, their previous battles read like one of those epic Tolkein battles – mostly won by the Brewers. Who can forget that glorious roasting the Brewers gave the Rockies with a 17-2 victory in April? All things considered, the regular season has been a mirror - shining brightly for the Brewers with a 47-36 win-loss as it has been a grim spectacle for the Rockies with an 18-65.
Now, let's needle a little into recent wounds. Milwaukee's been wielding the bat with Extra-Terrestrial aggression, while the Rockies have been going down quicker than a poorly-built snowman in spring. To put it lightly, my grandmother's knitting club has had more exciting matches than the Rockies' recent games.
Dodging the phrase that-The-Suits-say-I-cannot-say, my humor may be dryer than a desert, but it ain't hard to see that with all those factors favoring the Brewers, the Rockies are looking like a bunch of guys who wandered onto the field thinking it's a Colorado-themed costume party.
