The Rockies are 9-5 to start the season. That’s great so far, but digging deeper into record estimators reveals more of a mixed bag for the Rockies. In particular, the Rockies’ record and run differential tell conflicting stories, while the more sophisticated record adjusters put them in between the two.
Let’s start with the raw wins and losses. The Rockies have won nine games, and they have lost five games. The numbers are small, but a 9-5 record is pretty impressive. The winning percentage is .643. Extrapolate that for an entire season, and it’s a 103-59 team.
