The Colorado Rockies enter Saturday’s contest against the Baltimore Orioles in the midst of a historically difficult season, now sitting at a league-worst 26–76 and continuing to flounder on the road with just three wins away from Coors Field in their last 25 tries. Their struggles have been comprehensive—ineffective starting pitching, a quiet offense, and a bullpen that has routinely failed to hold leads or stop scoring runs late—all of which contribute to their dismal 30–47 ATS record. Antonio Senzatela gets the start and brings with him a 4–13 record and a bloated 6.41 ERA, having surrendered 146 hits over just 100 innings and showing no signs of turning things around. Senzatela’s biggest issues stem from his inability to locate his fastball, leading to frequent walks, long innings, and consistent early-game deficits that force the Rockies into catch-up mode far too often. The Baltimore offense, while inconsistent overall, has enough firepower to punish mistakes—especially at Camden Yards—and Senzatela’s road ERA hovers well above 7.00, putting him at high risk for another short outing. Offensively, Colorado’s production has been limited to a few bright spots, namely Hunter Goodman (.283 AVG, 18 HR) and Mickey Moniak, both of whom have shown occasional pop but receive little protection in a lineup that ranks near the bottom of the league in runs scored, OPS, and slugging percentage.

The Rockies have been unable to generate offense without the benefit of Coors Field, with their on-base percentage plunging and their strikeout rate ballooning whenever they leave Denver. Their road run differential is among the worst in baseball at –247, and the majority of their losses come by wide margins, reflecting both lack of offense and ineffective pitching. Defensively, Colorado is one of the league’s worst teams as well, ranking near the bottom in fielding percentage and errors committed, with regular mental lapses and physical mistakes extending innings and often leading to big frames that decide games early. The bullpen provides no reprieve either—young arms and journeymen have cycled in and out all season without any one reliever establishing a shutdown presence, making late comebacks virtually impossible once the Rockies trail. Manager Warren Schaeffer continues to mix and match lineups, try aggressive baserunning, and experiment with small-ball strategies, but none of it has translated into sustained success or even occasional road competitiveness. Betting markets reflect the futility: the Rockies are heavy underdogs Saturday and for good reason—against an elite pitcher like Trevor Rogers, with little offense and minimal bullpen depth behind them, there’s little to suggest they can keep pace for nine innings. Even in games where Senzatela manages to survive through five innings, the offense rarely delivers enough run support to capitalize, and the bullpen often collapses under pressure. Unless the Rockies can somehow generate multiple runs early, play error-free defense, and squeeze six competent innings from their struggling starter, they are almost certain to add another loss to what’s been a brutal 2025 campaign, continuing a pattern of double-digit road defeats that have made them one of the least competitive teams in modern baseball history.
