However, a trip to Coors Field could see Schwarber get on the board. Schwarber has gone five trips to Colorado without a homer but hit one in four of the five trips prior to this rut. He only has two hits in 15 at-bats versus Kyle Freeland, but both hits went for doubles and three combined RBIs, plus he&#8217;s hitting .305 versus LHP this season.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Bryce Harper has gone without a homer in seven straight games and has two in the entire month. While he&#8217;s only hitting. 185 with one homer off Freeland in 27 at-bats, this feels like a good series for Harper to aim for the fences with Antonio Senzatela and Carson Palmquist pitching the next two days. Since 2019, Harper has played at least one series in Colorado and hit a homer in four out of five series.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Please bet responsibly.
