Colorado Rockies Struggle to Secure Home Field Advantage Against Dominant Arizona Diamondbacks

The Colorado Rockies have struggled to secure a home-field advantage at Coors Field this season, losing more than half of their games. They have not been successful in winning a series at home in their last two attempts. Prior to their current series, the Arizona Diamondbacks have dominated the Rockies, winning five consecutive matchups and six out of their last seven. Arizona has a strong record on the road this season, winning 55.4% of their away games. They have won three of their last four series played away from their home stadium, including impressive sweeps of the Miami Marlins and the Boston Red Sox. With the Diamondbacks excelling in several key offensive categories compared to the Rockies' middle-of-the-pack rankings, coupled with Colorado's last-place home ERA of 5.36, it is likely that Arizona will emerge victorious in Wednesday's game based on statistical analysis.
