Heading into the season, FanGraphs’ ZiPS projections model tagged the Colorado Rockies to finish with a record of 68-94. The bleak outlook was not surprising, given the unknowns for Colorado heading into the regular season. Now, after one month of games, that projection has improved to a 71-91 record. Colorado’s 10-5 start certainly changed the narrative, however they certainly came back down to earth after a disastrous road series in Philadelphia.
Sitting two games over .500, the Rockies are on a better track than many expected heading into 2022. But they’re also not clicking on all cylinders, giving context to their record hovering around even heading into the second month of the season.
