Colorado vs Kansas City Game Analysis
Colorado
Kyle Freeland (0-3, 7.94 ERA) aims for his first win of the season. Freeland showed ace potential with a strong performance of 6.2 innings and 2 runs allowed against the White Sox on the 1st. Having pitched 6 scoreless innings in his previous home game, expectations are high for this match. The Colorado lineup, which scored 4 runs including a decisive solo home run by Jake Cave against Tobias Myers in the previous game, is showing improved hitting form towards the end of the series. However, they seem to need a supporting hitter for Ezekiel Tovar. It is also crucial to see if the bullpen, which allowed 3 hits and 1 run in 4 innings, can continue its good performance.
Kansas City
Cole Ragans (5-6, 3.33 ERA) aims for his 6th win of the season. Ragans' poor performance of 4.2 innings and 5 runs allowed at home against Cleveland on the 30th is critical, as he faltered at home. Although he has improved on the road recently, his 4.45 ERA in night games and the characteristics of Coors Field suggest he might struggle. Despite losing the previous game, Kansas City’s lineup, which scored 8 runs including 2 home runs against Tampa Bay’s pitchers, shows decent hitting at home. The issue is their poor hitting on the road. The bullpen's ability to manage crises, which allowed 5 runs in 6 innings, is also a concern.
Comment
Both Freeland and Ragans might be able to hold their own at Coors Field. The problem is that Freeland performs well at home while Ragans struggles in road games, and the Kansas City bullpen is likely to have issues. The Colorado Rockies, with home-field advantage, are closer to winning.
