Team Previews
Colorado Rockies
The Rockies have had an impressive season so far, ranking 9th in hits with 1193 and 5th in runs with 683. Their batting average of .251 positions them well among their peers. Key players like Jackson Chourio have been instrumental in their offensive success, boasting a batting average of .279. The Rockies have a solid bullpen with 45 saves, ranking tied for 3rd in the league, which has contributed to their ability to close out games effectively.
On the pitching side, Frankie Montas has been a reliable starter, though he has had some ups and downs this season. The Rockies' ERA of 3.60 is a testament to their strong pitching staff. They have been effective in limiting walks and home runs, which is crucial in tight games.
Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers are having a challenging season, reflected in their 2nd place in losses with 89 and a lack of offensive production, ranking 19th in runs (596). Their batting average of .243 is barely above the league average, and they struggle to generate runs consistently. The loss of Wade Miley for the season due to an elbow injury has further weakened their pitching rotation.
Ryan Feltner has had a particularly tough time this season, and with a 5.11 ERA, he will need to step up against a strong Rockies lineup. The Brewers’ bullpen has managed only 32 saves, which is tied for 22nd in the league, indicating struggles in closing out games. Their overall pitching has contributed to their poor record and inability to compete in crucial matchups.
