St. Louis Cardinals: “Birds on a Coors Field Power Trip”
The St. Louis Cardinals (52-49) waltz into Denver like a band that’s been on tour since April, looking to crank up their offense in the thin Colorado air. After taking Game 1 of this three-game set, they’re eyeing another round of fireworks, and honestly, who’s going to stop them? Certainly not a Rockies team that’s giving up runs like free samples at a Costco.
Erick Fedde (3-9, 4.83 ERA) will start for St. Louis, and while his numbers aren’t exactly inspiring, pitching at Coors Field is never about perfection. It’s about surviving long enough for your hitters to bludgeon the other guys into submission. Luckily, the Cardinals have the bats for it. Nolan Arenado, who probably has Coors Field in his personal “Top 5 favorite places to crush baseballs,” will look to continue reminding his old Rockies fans of what they’re missing. Masyn Winn has also been swinging a hot bat lately, going 16-for-42 with a sprinkle of doubles to keep pitchers shaking their heads.
Colorado Rockies: “The Struggle Bus with a Mile-High View”
The Colorado Rockies (24-76) are in a bad place. With a 12-38 home record, Coors Field feels less like a fortress and more like a ballpark-sized piñata for visiting teams. Bradley Blalock (0-2, 9.97 ERA) will take the mound Tuesday, which is basically a polite way of saying, “We’re hoping for a miracle.”
Hunter Goodman and Ryan McMahon have tried to carry the offensive load, with McMahon showing some recent pop, but they’ve been outscored by 28 runs over their last 10 games. That’s not just losing, it’s losing with enthusiasm.
Prediction: Chaos, Dingers, and Lots of Runs
With a total set at 12.0, MyBookie sportsbooks are practically begging bettors to expect offense. Coors Field, a pitcher with a 9.97 ERA, and a Rockies bullpen that’s been generously handing out runs? That’s a recipe for another slugfest.
Final Score Prediction: Cardinals 9, Rockies 5
Bets Bet: St. Louis -1.5 (-105)
Total: Over 12.0 (-115)
