My Prediction
Minnesota Twins by 3Ah, the clash of the titans, or so we could say if this was a battle from Greek mythology. But let's get down to brass tacks. We have the Minnesota Twins visiting the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, a perfect little haven for batters pleasure. Let's not tiptoe around the obvious. The Twins are the preferred ones, and it's easy to see why.
First off, let's look at the hurlers, shall we? On the mound for the Twins, we have Zebby Matthews. Having made only 3 appearances this season, this guy still boasts a serviceable 3.94 ERA and a not-too-shabby 11.3 K/9. On the flip side, the Rockies are sending out Antonio Senzatela. A whopping 19 appearances under his belt and a whopping 6.83 ERA to go with it. Not the digits you want to see from your starting pitcher, folks.
That's not the whole story, of course. There's the batting order—here's where it gets juicy. The Twins have Byron Buxton and Carlos Correa who've been firing on all cylinders, and Kody Clemens and Ryan Jeffers are not too far behind either. The Rockies are not starless either, having the likes of Tyler Freeman, Mickey Moniak, and Jordan Beck.
But the past? Ah, the past! These two have tangoed before, and it's a split series. Rockies seem to squeeze out wins at home, while the Twins dominate when they're hosting.
And let's not forget the seasonal standings. The Twins' record won't win them any beauty contest, but it's Miss Universe compared to the Rockies' dismal record.
And lastly, looking at more recent outings - Rockies managed to pick up a surprise win against the Twins, but their other results suggest more hiccups than that of a newborn. While Twins' recent results don't scream 'dominance', it has more consistency than the Rockies'.
So where does this all lead us to? It seems pretty clear to me, even though I have the occasional astigmatism.
