In the Rockies’ weird and wacky 2021 season, nothing has been as weird or as wacky as this: they have pitched considerably better at the hitter’s paradise known as Coors Field than they have on the road.
Entering Monday night’s game at Texas, Colorado’s home ERA was 4.36 vs. a road ERA of 5.09. Only twice in franchise history have the Rockies posted a better ERA at home than on the road: 2003 (5.07 vs. 5.35) and 2013 (4.43 vs. 4.44). Never has there been a disparity like the one we’re witnessing this season.
Colorado’s starters are driving the phenomenon.
