Colorado Rockies: 5 Bold Predictions for the Second Half

The Colorado Rockies continued on their winning ways with a 2-1 victory earlier today over the New York Mets, ending their 10-game losing streak at Citi Field. The Rockies improved their record to 50-52, and are now 10-4 since the All-Star break, and only 5.5 games out of the second Wild Card berth. How will the rest of the season pan out? Rox Pile takes a look at five bold predictions for how the second half might go.

The Colorado Rockies have been very ordinary on the road in 2016, but with today’s win they improved their road record to 25-28. Today was the first win at the Mets since 2012, which was tied for their second-longest losing streak on the road in club history (only a 13-game losing streak at San Francisco from 1999-2001 is longer).

The Rockies also won their first game of the season after trailing after eight innings. It was good to see them beat up on a Mets closer (Jeurys Familia) who had suffered his first blown save the night before against the St. Louis Cardinals (his first in 37 opportunities).

The Rockies offense had been stagnant throughout the game, but took advantage of the opportunity when it was presented. Can the Rockies take advantage of the opportunity that the second half of the season presents?

They most certainly can. Let’s take a look at five bold predictions which the Rockies can achieve for the rest of the regular season.
