The Oakland Athletics will play the Colorado Rockies in Game 2 of their series on Saturday night at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Oakland won Game 1 on Friday night by a score of 8-5, which was only their second win in their last seven Games. Colorado had a little bit of momentum after the All-Star break, but that has slipped away in the last three Games. 

Athletics Preview

The Oakland Athletics are 29-76 this season and they have lost 13 of their last 17 Games. Prior to winning the first Game in this series, Oakland lost both Games in their mini series against the Giants. Oakland has been very poor on the offensive side this season and they have scored three runs or fewer in six of their last ten Games. The Oakland pitching staff has a 5.86 ERA, a 1.52 WHIP, and a .268 opponent batting average this year. The Athletics offense has scored 376 runs with a .222 batting average and a .301 on base percentage. Brent Rooker is batting .244 with 16 home runs and 44 RBI’s for the Athletics. The projected starting pitcher for Oakland is Paul Blackburn, who is 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP over 48.0 innings pitched this year. 

Rockies Preview

The Colorado Rockies are 40-63 this season and they have lost four of their last five Games. Prior to this series, Colorado lost two out of three Games in Washington. The Rockies have recently won series against the Yankees and Marlins, while they split a two Game set with Houston. Colorado’s bullpen has been a huge issue this season and we saw why in Games 2 and 3 in Washington. The Colorado pitching staff has a 5.49 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP, and a .280 opponent batting average. The Rockies offense has scored 452 runs with a .253 batting average and a .314 on base percentage this year. Elias Diaz is batting .270 with 10 home runs and 48 RBI’s for the Rockies.

The Oakland Athletics ranks T12th in the league for triples this season (15).

The Colorado Rockies ranks T4th in the league for doubles this season (192).

The Colorado Rockies ranks 14th in the league for batting average this season (.253).

Pick

These two teams have the worst two records in the MLB and their pitching staffs have been a disaster so far this year. The good news for these teams is that someone has to win this game, but it will likely be another high scoring contest. Colorado is starting Chris Flexen, who is being called up from Triple-A for the game. Oakland is starting Paul Blackburn, who has allowed 1, 6, 5, and 1 earned run in his last four starts. I can’t trust either of these two teams, but I am going to go with Colorado to get the win at home.

Spring training 2024: Who plays today? MLB games on Friday, March 1

Image
The first full week of 2024 Major League Baseball Spring Training has already given us a lot to think about with Shohei Ohtani getting off to a flying start in his debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers. That’s precisely why all eyes will be on the Japanese two-way sensation when they play on Friday night. Los Angeles Dodgers to host Cleveland Guardians Friday, March 1st will see just two teams in action with the Cleveland Guardians heading west to take on the now star-studded Los Angeles Dodgers. With record signing, Shohei Ohtani, already off and running after he drove in two runs in the fifth inning with a home run against the Chicago White Sox in the team’s first Game in the Cactus League, it’s clear the Dodgers mean Business . Interestingly, the Game will likely see the second start of pitcher, Tyler Glasnow, who allowed just one run, four hits, and a walk in 1 2/3 innings on Saturday against the Angels. Indeed, Glasnow looks set to start all Game s before the Dodgers play their fi...
