Catching up with the Colorado Rockies
Rockies update: The Rockies are enjoying the same sort of surprising dominance as the Diamondbacks, but despite the narrative of them being a monster offensive team, it’s actually their pitching that’s been the most impressive. They do lead the league in runs scored, but much of that can likely be attributed to playing at Coors Field. Their pitching, meanwhile, ranks third in ERA, which is highly impressive given their run-scoring atmosphere at home.
