Colorado Rockies Analysis

The Colorado Rockies are still looking for their first series win in 2024, despite winning the opener in three of their last four series. The team is struggling at the plate, scoring 3.52 runs per game and surrendering an average of 6.00 runs per game. Their pitching staff has been struggling with a 5.75 ERA and 1.66 WHIP. The Rockies have yet to announce a starting pitcher for Wednesday's game, with the option to call up prospects from Triple-A or utilize a bullpen day. Although their bullpen has performed decently in recent days, the team currently ranks 29th in power and 25th in offense, while ranking dead last in defense. They have a record of 6-18 and recently went 1-2 in a series against San Diego.

Padres bullpen shines as team looks to secure victory against struggling Rockies

The Padres have yet to secure a victory in Matt Waldron's four starts this season; however, their bullpen has demonstrated solid performance in the past ten days, showing a 1-1 record, four saves, a 2.10 ERA, and 1.97 FIP. Considering these factors, I am confident in the Padres' ability to prevail over the Rockies in the upcoming game. The Rockies have struggled with a .181/.240/.265 slash line against right-handed pitchers in the last ten days, resulting in a dismal 29 wRC+. In light of these statistics, I do not believe that Colorado is a strong contender in this matchup.
