Team Analysis
Colorado Rockies
Recent form suggests that the road has not been kind to the Rockies with a poor 14-41 record. The team’s struggle to find consistency in their away games is echoed in the lackluster performance of their star hitters. However, Hunter Goodman, Mickey Moniak, and Jordan Beck have displayed moments of brilliance at the plate that can ignite the Rockies’ offensive potential when least expected.
In terms of recent form, the Rockies trend in a rather neutral direction, closing the last five games with a 2-3 record. While their scoring hasn’t been as robust averaging 3.8 runs per game in their last five outings, they’ll have to bank on the momentum built by their key players to turn things around.

Cleveland Guardians
The Cleveland Guardians carry a mixed track record into this matchup. Unlike their opponents, the Guardians perform relatively better at home than on the road, though their home record stands evenly poised at 26-26. The team relies heavily on their key offensive players, namely Jose Ramirez, Steven Kwan, and Kyle Manzardo, to keep them ahead of the Rockies.
They are showing signs of offensive spark with an impressive average of 5.2 runs per game in their last five games. Despite a neutral 2-3 record in their previous five games, the scoring trend of the Guardians bodes well for their matchup against the Rockies and will be a crucial factor to watch out for.
