Prediction summary

The Rockies won the first game of the series 3-1 on July 31, but the Royals are missing several key players (Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino, Maikel Garcia) and the Rockies get Brenton Doyle back.

Risks

The Royals' injuries can be offset by a good start from Luinder Avila.
The Rockies have a very poor overall record (42-65) and may show signs of inconsistency.
The Coors Field effect can also benefit the Royals' hitters.

Invalidation conditions

If a last-minute change in the Rockies' lineup (notably the absence of Brenton Doyle) is announced.
If a different starting pitcher than expected is confirmed for either team.
