Houston Astros: Breaking Bats & Breaking Spirits
The Houston Astros roll into Coors Field with a flamethrower in one hand and a calculator in the other, mostly to keep track of all the crooked numbers they’re putting on the board. They’re 51-34, and no, that’s not the score of their last game (yet). With Hunter Brown (8-3, 1.74 ERA, 118 Ks, and probably a black belt in pitching pain) toeing the rubber, this feels less like a baseball game and more like a scheduled beatdown.
Brown’s ERA is so low it’s basically hiding underground. He’s fanned more batters than a heatwave in Texas and now gets to face a Rockies lineup that makes opposing pitchers feel like they’re throwing wiffle balls to toddlers.
The ‘Stros may only be .500 on the road, but facing the Rockies at home is like hitting a beachball off a tee and Houston knows how to party when they hit multiple dingers (18-5 when they go yard twice or more). Expect Jeremy Peña and Isaac Paredes to treat Gomber’s pitches like batting practice meatballs.
Colorado Rockies: Playing Baseball (Allegedly)
The Rockies are 19-66. That’s not a typo, that’s a cry for help. They’re 8-33 at home, which should be illegal considering Coors Field practically hands out home runs like candy on Halloween.
Starter Austin Gomber (0-1, 6.14 ERA) has five strikeouts this season, which is less than what most fans get on their FitBits during a walk to the bathroom. The Rockies might have a guy named Jordan Beck coming off a five-hit game, but even a broken clock is right twice a day.
The Rockies are 8-50 when they give up a home run… and they’re playing in Denver. So yeah, the Astros might want to warm up their trot music early.
Prediction:
Astros 11, Rockies 4 — and that’s being kind. Hunter Brown lights up the mound, the bats blast off, and Colorado fans wonder if football season is here yet.
