This current seven-game homestand is a chance for the Rockies to get right. Their two opponents, the New York Mets and Miami Marlins, have two of the three worst records in the National League. To go along with that, they are the bottom two teams in runs scored and in the bottom half in runs against in the NL.
Monday night’s 12-2 loss to the Mets was a throw-away game. With Jacob deGrom on the mound with his now minuscule 1.51 ERA after throwing eight innings of one run on five-hit ball and the Rockies dealing with the hangover from Sunday’s walkoff loss to the Texas Rangers, the chances of winning that ball game were slim to none.
