The Washington Nationals and Colorado Rockies face off on Friday in an MLB showdown at Coors Field. In the first game of this series, it was the Rockies that were able to secure a 1-0 victory. 

Nationals Betting Preview

The Nationals come into this game with a 1-6 record and the offense was against a big issue again on Thursday not scoring any goals. CJ Abrams had a strong game finishing with two hits, but couldn’t get any runs driven in. The Nationals are averaging 2.43 runs per game while the defense is giving up 5.57 goals per game. On the mound for the Nationals is MacKenzie Gore who sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 1.69. In his first start against the Atlanta Braves he went 5.1 innings giving up three hits and one run. 

Rockies Betting Preview

The Rockies come into this game with a 3-4 record and it was good pitching that was the difference on Tuesday. Kyle Freeland had a strong game finishing with 6.2 innings and gave up only four hits and zero runs. C.J. Cron had a strong game finishing with three home runs and driven in seven RBIs. On the mound for the Rockies will be Jose Urena who sits with an 0-1 record and an ERA of 15.43. In his start against the San Diego Padres he went 2.1 innings giving up five hits and four runs. In the Rockies offense needs to try and give more run support to Urena. 

Nationals vs Rockies Trends

The Rockies are 1-4 in their last five games overall. The Nationals are 1-6 in their last seven games during Game 2 of a series. The under is 5-0 in the Rockies last five games against the National League East. The under is 5-1 in the Nationals last six games against the American League West. The under is 4-1 in the Rockies last five games against a left handed start. 

Shane’s Free Pick

Runs were hard to come by on Thursday, but Friday is going to be a lot different. Urena was awful in his first start, and the Nationals offense is going to break out in this game. The Nationals are giving up 5.57 runs per game, and that number is going to rise with the Rockies offense. Back the over.
