The team currently holds a record of 3-15, placing them in last in the NL West, 11 games behind the Padres. Despite an 11-hit effort from players like Nick Martini, Sean Bouchard, and Kyle Farmer, the Rockies were unable to secure a win.

Struggling Washington Nationals Poised to Outperform Colorado Rockies in Upcoming Game

Both the Washington Nationals and the Colorado Rockies are struggling with their performance in the current baseball season. The Nationals have a record of 7-12, including a 2-8 record on the road, while the Rockies have suffered 15 losses in 18 games, with a 2-4 record at Coors Field. Despite a strong performance by Gore on Opening Day, the team has faced challenges in recent games. Dollander, on the other hand, has limited experience in the major league with only two starts. Following the firing of hitting coach Hensley Meulens and the appointment of Clint Hurder, Colorado seems to be in disarray. Considering the current situation, it may be wise to bet on the Nationals for the upcoming game on the road.
