A key piece to that improvement for the Colorado Rockies is Antonio Senzatela, whose strong pitching has pushed struggling veteran Chad Bettis to the bullpen. Senzatela has posted a 1.56 ERA in his last four starts dating back to last season.
If he can continue this dominance, he’ll make an excellent number three or four guy in the rotation alongside Kyle Freeland, German Marquez, and Jon Gray. That looks like a rotation that can win the Rockies a lot of games.
Pitching has been a big part of the Rockies’ recent turnaround, but the offense has also finally come around, not just scoring runs but also putting together solid at-bats on a regular basis.
