Getting smoked today. Lucky to have won first two. This is an interesting tidbit from the OC Register:
“Since 2013 – the start of the Dodgers’ current run of domination in the National League West – the Dodgers have a winning record at Coors Field (34-29). But in the series that followed those visits to Denver, they have struggled, going 24-35 – including a six-game losing streak that followed a series sweep of the Rockies in April (the Dodgers’ longest slump this season and the only time they have lost consecutive series).
A team that has played at a .587 winning-percentage rate since the start of 2013 has played at a .407 rate following a visit to Coors Field.
“I had no idea about that stat,” Dodgers outfielder/first baseman Joc Pederson said when read the numbers. “Not good.
“You definitely notice the pitches. There are a lot more back-up sliders and cutters here where it’s not like that at other places. But I didn’t know it was that bad. … Maybe everyone’s just a little tired. Numbers don’t lie so it’s something.”
The Dodgers aren’t alone. The four NL West teams that each make three visits to Colorado every season have a .466 winning percentage in the series following their series there since 2013. Only the San Francisco Giants (33-28) have managed a winning record in the days immediately after leaving Denver.”
