DENVER -- The Rockies are playing their best baseball of the season at just the right time. They're coming home to Coors Field after a 5-1 road trip against a pair of first place teams -- the Astros and Braves -- and they've just finished 46 games against teams playing over .500, going 30-16 against the field.
To top it all off, they've reclaimed their home-field advantage after struggling early in the season. The Rockies are 20-7 at Coors Field since June 18, putting them four games over .500 for the season.
"We've played good baseball, but as an offense, we haven't played anywhere near what we're capable of this whole second half," Nolan Arenado said before Tuesday's series opener against the Padres.
