Minnesota Twins
Colorado Rockies
On July 18, 2025, the Colorado Rockies will host the Minnesota Twins at Coors Field in the first game of their interleague series. The Rockies are struggling with a dismal record of 22-73 this season, leaving them at the bottom of the standings. In contrast, the Twins sit at 47-48, having an average season but still within striking distance of the playoff picture.
The Rockies are projected to start a pitcher who has struggled this season, which could spell trouble against a Twins lineup that is looking to capitalize. Over the last week, Minnesota’s best hitter has been on fire, playing in 5 games, racking up 10 hits, and posting an impressive .556 batting average and a whopping 1.711 OPS. This kind of offensive production could be pivotal, especially against a Rockies pitching staff that ranks among the worst in the league.
While Colorado’s best hitter has also shown flashes of brilliance, including a .385 batting average and 1.198 OPS over the past week, the overall performance of the team has not been enough to turn things around. With the Rockies sitting at 30th in the league in overall performance metrics, their underwhelming season may continue unless they can find a way to support their top hitters with more consistent offensive efforts.
Given the Rockies’ current struggles and the Twins’ recent offensive surge, this matchup favors Minnesota. With a solid opportunity to get back on track, the Twins look primed to take advantage of the Rockies’ ongoing issues on the mound.
