Oakland A’s Series Preview #2: Rockies mount challenge

The Oakland A’s won their first series of the 2020 season, taking three of four games from the division rival Los Angeles Angels. Now they’ll take on their first interleague opponent of the summer, for two games at the Coliseum.

Colorado Rockies

  • 2020 record: 2-1

After a couple playoff berths in 2017-18, the Rockies took a fall last summer. They lost 91 games, performing poorly on both sides of the ball. The pitching staff allowed the second-most runs in the majors and had the second-worst FIP, and even after accounting for their notorious ballpark they were 7th-worst in the ERA- adjusted metric.
