A hitting slump is probably not the best time to be going into Dodger Stadium for a rare five-game series. But here the Diamondbacks are, coming off a homestand which saw them score only 13 runs over the seven games, hit .164 and strike out more than seven times for every walk (K:BB of 58:8). Since leaving Coors Field over a week ago, Arizona have just three hits with runners in scoring position, a .094 average in that situation (3-for-32). Is is the Denver effect? I thought I’d take a look at the results after the Diamondbacks previous road series against the Rockies, and see whether there was a similar fall off in the team’s offense in the week afterward.
