Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies continue to struggle with uncompetitive losses in a season where they are fighting for the worst record in the NL. One of the team's main issues is their lack of offensive production on the road, with a significant drop in runs scored and slash line. Overall, the Rockies rank low in key offensive statistics such as homers, walk percentage, and strikeout percentage. The team also has the worst pitching staff ERA in the MLB, with particularly poor numbers on the road.
