My Prediction
Minnesota Twins by 3Let's discuss the upcoming baseball wham-bango happening between the Minnesota Twins and the Colorado Rockies at the majestic Coors Field. While this honored stadium, located high in the mountains of Denver, tends to favor those skillful with the bat, it might be quite a spectacle for the visiting Twins, who are used to a little less oxygen up in the stratosphere.
Starting with the Twins, they've got their main man Chris Paddack on the mound. With a 5.02 ERA and 6.4 K/9 over 19 appearances this season, he's not exactly setting the world on fire. I've had haircuts last longer than most of his innings pitched.
On the other side of things, the Rockies have Kyle Freeland up their sleeves and it’s not necessarily an ace. Hopefully, he's not planning on throwing a no-hitter as his whopping 5.59 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 17 appearances could make for some entertaining innings.
When it comes to hitting, Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa are leading the offensive charge for the Twins; Correa may not have the stealing ability but the man can send it to the stands. On the Rockies side, young studs like Tyler Freeman and Mickey Moniak, they might not have the homer power but do bring a bit of speed game.
Taking a gander at their recent records, Minnesota holds a more respectable 47-49, while the Rockies' 22-74 record is about as appealing as a three-week-old milk. Looking at the dance cards of these two, the Rockies have been on a bit of a losing spree, while the Twins are showing signs of life with some recent victories.
As for the past trysts between these two, it seems the Twins have the upper hand, taking the majority of their latest encounters. Considering all, "Albert's Prediction" shouldn't necessitate a trip to a psychic.
