Chase Dollander will pitch for the Rockies. He has a 5.06 ERA over two games this season. In his recent game against the Padres, Dollander pitched 5 2/3 innings and struck out seven. He allowed two home runs and two runs. Both pitchers will look to lead their teams to a win in this night game.

Rockies Ready for the Next Game

The Colorado Rockies are missing Brenton Doyle due to personal reasons. He has been a key player with a .315 batting average and three home runs. His absence might impact the team’s performance on the field. Hunter Goodman has played 16 games this season. He has a batting average of .222 and has hit three home runs. Goodman is second on the team in runs and RBIs, making him an important player for the Rockies. Kyle Farmer has been consistent with a .345 batting average. He has not hit any home runs but has six RBIs. Farmer’s ability to get on base helps the Rockies’ offense in crucial moments.

Nationals Aim to Make Their Mark

James Wood is leading the Nationals in home runs with six. His .229 batting average might not stand out, but his power at the plate is clear. Wood also leads the team in runs, making him a key player in their lineup. Nathaniel Lowe is expected to play despite a recent illness. He has a solid batting average of .284 and leads the team in RBIs with 16. Lowe’s ability to drive in runs is crucial for the Nationals’ offense. Keibert Ruiz has been consistent with a .317 batting average. He has two home runs and 11 RBIs in 17 games. Ruiz’s on-base skills help set the stage for his teammates to score.

Final Betting Pick

The Nationals have a solid chance with MacKenzie Gore on the mound. His performance at home has been strong, with a 6-inning game against the Dodgers where he allowed only two runs. The Rockies struggle on the road with a 1-11 record, and their top hitter, Brenton Doyle, is out.

The under 9.0 prediction looks good due to both teams’ low batting averages. The Nationals hit .226, while the Rockies hit .220. With Doyle out and Gore pitching, runs may be limited. Chase Dollander’s recent games show potential for keeping runs down, adding to the under prediction’s appeal.
