Team Analysis

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies have been struggling recently, with their road performance not helping their cause. They have been inconsistent, flashing occasional high scoring capability, but without the regularity needed to turn their season around. Players like Hunter Goodman and Mickey Moniak are trying to keep the team afloat, but their efforts have not been enough to overcome their opposition.

Despite their recent form, the Rockies can’t be completely ruled out of this game. They have the potential to cause an upset, especially if they can pile on the runs. However, they will need to bring their best to the plate against the Diamondbacks.
