Predicted Outcome
Washington edges Baltimore in a close game due to home-field advantage and Gore's form, but risks remain due to injury-depleted lineup.
The Colorado Rockies host the Washington Nationals in the final game of their series at Coors Field. Starting pitchers are RHP Antonio Senzatela (Rockies) with a 0-3 record and 5.89 ERA, and RHP Bradley Lord (Nationals) holding a 0-1 record and 4.82 ERA. Both teams have struggled offensively and on the mound this season, with the Rockies sitting 5th in the NL West and Nationals 4th in the NL East. The Rockies have a potent home advantage at Coors Field, known for a hitter-friendly environment, which may influence scoring.
Key Factors to Consider
Colorado Rockies have an overall team ERA of 5.50 and batting average of .272, slightly better than the Nationals who have a 5.36 ERA and .231 batting average. The Rockies have hit 13 home runs compared to the Nationals’ 23, but the Nationals have been less consistent on offense. Recent performance favors the Rockies slightly, but their starting pitching has been shaky.
This series has seen competitive games with the Rockies trying to leverage their home field advantage. The match on April 18 was postponed, leading to a doubleheader on April 20. Historically, these teams have been evenly matched with slight advantages to the Rockies at Coors Field.
No significant injuries reported impacting the starting lineups or pitching rotations for either team currently.
Weather conditions forecast at Coors Field are mild with temperatures around mid-50s to low 60s °F and minimal wind (2 mph SW), unlikely to affect pitching or hitting significantly.
Both teams are fighting for wins to move up from the bottom of their respective divisions, adding competitive motivation. The Rockies will aim to capitalize on home field while the Nationals seek to salvage the series on the road.
