One strength for San Francisco has been its ability to generate hits. The Giants have collected 481 hits, which is more than Colorado's total. They also hold advantages in batting average, ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, and opponent batting average, giving them several statistical categories working in their favor despite their recent struggles.
Rockies Looking to Capitalize at Home
Colorado enters Sunday's game with a 21-37 overall record and an 11-15 mark at home. The Rockies have gone 1-4 over their last five games, recently winning over San Francisco while recently losing to Los Angeles three times and Arizona once. Although the overall stretch has been difficult, Colorado picked up an important series-opening win and will look to build on that performance.
The Rockies are batting .242 with 237 runs scored, 473 hits, and 52 home runs. Colorado owns a .309 on-base percentage and a .381 slugging percentage. Defensively, the Rockies have posted a 5.19 ERA and a 1.48 WHIP while allowing opponents to hit .281. The pitching staff has recorded 416 strikeouts.
The biggest challenge for Colorado has been preventing opposing offenses from producing.
