Kyle Freeland (3 losses, 7.94 ERA), who contributed to the Colorado Rockies breaking their losing streak with the strong performance of their pitching staff, will make his bid for his first win of the season again. In an away game against the White Sox on the 1st, Freeland showed an impressive outing, allowing 2 runs over 6.2 innings, which seemed to bring back his ace form. The fact that he pitched 6 scoreless innings in his previous home game also raises expectations for this game. It is encouraging that Colorado’s offense, which scored 4 runs including Jake Cave's decisive solo home run against Tobias Myers in the previous game, is heating up towards the end of the series. However, they seem to need more hitters to support Ezequiel Tovar. The bullpen, which allowed only 1 run on 3 hits over 4 innings, needs to maintain this performance.
The Kansas City Royals, who have struggled with their pitching staff leading to a losing series, will have Cole Ragans (5 wins, 6 losses, 3.33 ERA) aim for his 6th win of the season. Ragans suffered a home defeat against Cleveland on the 30th, allowing 5 runs in 4.2 innings, which is critical as it happened at home. Although he has been doing better recently on the road, his nighttime ERA of 4.45, combined with the characteristics of Coors Field, suggests he may struggle again. While the Royals' offense scored 8 runs, including 2 home runs, against Tampa Bay’s pitchers despite losing in the previous game, they have not performed as well on the road compared to at home. The bullpen, which collapsed on allowing 5 runs in 6 innings, has shown poor crisis management ability.
Both Freeland and Ragans, despite pitching at Coors Field, could perform adequately. The key issue is that while Freeland tends to perform well at home, Ragans has notable difficulties on the road, and the Royals’ bullpen is likely to face troubles. Therefore, the Colorado Rockies, with the home-field advantage, are closer to victory.
