Colorado Rockies vs Seattle Mariners Prediction: Rockies to secure a win this time

The Seattle Mariners and the Colorado Rockies meet Sunday in a doubleheader in MLB action from Coors Field. The Rockies come into this game as favorites, while the Rockies are off a winless run. Let’s look into this game and give a prediction.

The Colorado Rockies will look to change the trend of things for them as they have been having a disappointing performance since the start of April. In recent matches, the Colorado Rockies have failed to win a single game, with that run extending to six now. In their recent win, the Rockies powered a 4-12 victory over Toronto Blue Jays on the road, a series where they later lost two other games. Entering Monday’s action, Ryan McMahon will take the mound for the Colorado Rockies. This season, he has 26 hits along with 5 doubles and a team-high 11 RBIs

The Seattle Mariners showed character in game one against the Rockies and will come here looking to build on their four-game win streak. In their series against the Cincinnati Reds, the Seattle Mariners won each game, powering a 9-3, 3-1, and 5-1 in games 1,2 and 3, respectively. The Mariners have compiled a team ERA of 3.93 for the year (12th in the league), and they have struck out 173 batters. The Seattle Mariners are putting up 3.5 runs per outing, which has them sitting at 27th in baseball this season.

On the mound, Emerson Hancock is projected to start and is 1-2 with a 7.98 ERA and 11 strikeouts this season. After this series, the Seattle Mariners will face the Texas Rangers.

The Colorado Rockies are decent underdogs, and it is cool that the Seattle Mariners are favored, given their run of games. Despite the Mariners winning game one, they struggle with strikeouts against right-handed pitchers, and I don’t expect that to go away all of a sudden. The Colorado Rockies’ offense can disappear in the blink of an eye, but I think this will be a split game, with game 2 ending in their favor.
