Rockies vs. Brewers Analysis
Colorado Rockies’ Offense: Challenges and Opportunities Ahead
The Colorado Rockies are going to send Peter Lambert to the hill in this one. The 26-year-old will make just his fourth start of the season. Lambert is coming off a loss to San Diego Padres back on August 1st. In that game, he lasted just 4.1 innings while allowing four hits and four runs. On the season, Lambert is 2-2 with a 5.07 earned run average.
Colorado won two out of three in St. Louis and did so on Sunday with just one run. The Rockies have the worst run differential on the season, at -158. The Rockies are 21st in the league in runs scored, with 478, and 14th in batting average, at a .253. Colorado is led by both Elias Diaz and Ryan McMahon. Diaz has a .274 batting average, while McMahon has 19 home runs and 58 runs batted in.
Colorado will look to play a spoiler role for the next ten games. The Rockies go to Milwaukee for three, then to Los Angeles to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers. After that, the Rockies are at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Milwaukee’s Playoff Aspirations: Can They Bounce Back Strong?
Veteran Freddy Peralta will pitch for the Milwaukee Brewers. Peralta is 7-8 on the season, with a 4.46 earned run average. He has thrown 115 innings this season and struck out 138 batters while walking 45. The right-hander from the Dominican is coming off a win at Washington, where he allowed six hits and three runs over six innings.
Milwaukee cannot be pleased with the split series at home against the Pittsburgh Pirates, especially after losing two out of three to the Washington Nationals. The Brewers have dropped to near the bottom of the team batting average, with a .234. Christian Yelich is the top hitter, with a .287 batting average.
The Milwaukee Brewers schedule will see this series at home against Colorado and then will go on the road for a long string of games. The Brewers are at the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, and then Texas Rangers for the next nine games after this series. The Brewers come back home for a game against Minnesota on August 22nd.
