Team Analysis

Colorado Rockies

The Rockies are a team that has seen better days as they flounder on the road. With an away record of 13-40, confidence may seem elusive. Yet there are glimpses of strength reflected in their latest team records, with a 3-2 record in their last 5 games. Their hitters, especially Hunter Goodman, Mickey Moniak, and Jordan Beck are improving and can leave a significant mark on the game.

They have been averaging a promising 4.2 RPG in their last five games, which could lend an offensive edge if their key players step up. However, inconsistency remains a hurdle the Rockies will need to overcome to maximize their odds in this game.
