Texas Rangers at Colorado Rockies 8/14/20 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Texas Rangers have been able to play decent on the year for a team that was not expected to do anything. Now, the Rangers are sitting on a record that is near the five hundred mark and have a chance to move up even higher in the standings. The Rockies for their part are coming in playing some great baseball on the year so far and have ended up picking up a record that has them well over the five hundred mark.

With Texas the team has ended up hitting at a clip of .211 on the year with a total of 108 hits. Texas has scored a total of only 55 runs with 12 homers on the year. The Rockies for their part have ended up getting a total average of .284 with 177 hits. Run production for Colorado has been great with 103 runs on 26 homers thus far.

Lance Lynn is the projected starting pitcher in this game for Texas. This year he has pitched great with a 2-0 record and a 1.16 ERA. Lynn has ended up throwing a total of 23.1 innings on the year with a total of 30 strikeouts, but has had some control issues with 12 walks and 10 hits allowd.

The Rockies are countering on the mound with Ryan Castellani. He has not had any decisions yet on the year and has a 0.00 ERA. However, Castellani has only thrown a total of 4 innings and has walked a batter and struck out 3 batters, but did not give up any hits yet.

    The Rockies are putting Castellani on the mound in this game and he has pitched decent, but Lynn has pitched amazing for Texas. If the Rockies are unable to get to the bullpen early in this game then Lynn will keep the Colorado offense in check. The Rangers do not have much in the way of offense and that will definitely help Castellani out in the game, but even then he will not get to go deep in the game and that allows the Rangers to get to the bullpen, but the lack of offensive production on a consistent basis cost the Rangers in this game. Final Score Prediction, Colorado Rockies win 5-3.
