My Prediction
Houston Astros by 3Listeners, lean in close because I've got some insider information. Looking at the pitching showdown, we've got Hunter Brown of the Astros, who's been throwing fireballs all season with a solid 1.76 ERA and a WHIP that’ll make your head spin at 0.89. On the other end of the lawn, we have Austin Gomber of the Rockies, bless his heart, pitching at a 6.34 ERA this year.
Did we mention this game is at Coors Field, a veritable knockers' paradise? The batters love that place like a dog loves belly rubs. Remember that, you'll thank me later.
Everyone's been talking about Jake Meyers, Cameron Smith, and Isaac Paredes on the Astros. Meyers and Smith flirt with a pretty neat batting average and Paredes seems to have a knack for bringing the boys home. There’s no discounting the Rockies though. Our man Freeman has been ahead of the curve and Hunter Goodman holds quite the record with those home runs. Let's hope they keep their bats hot for this game.
Looking at those past matchups, it seems like the Astros have a knack for coming out on top. Houston seems to have left a rather bitter taste in the Rockies' mouths every time they met, with the latest win being just a narrow escape. Though, you know what they say about wounds and salt.
Regular season records paint a clear image of the who’s who, and it looks like in terms of wins, the Astros are playing in a different league compared to the Rockies. Recent results echo the same sentiment with the Astros displaying a solid track record. Rockies have been swinging between victory and defeat like they're doing the cha-cha.
Oh, sorry Rockies fans, did I hurt your feelings? Well, as we say back home, it's like skipping a rock on a pond, unless the rock sinks. This one, my friends, I believe will be sinking for the Rockies.
