Since the start of the regular season, the Colorado Rockies have been the clear cut worst team in the league as they are comfortably in last place in the overall standings and rank near the bottom of the board in most key metrics. Two of those metrics reside on defense as the Rockies back end heads into Monday night’s contest against Boston ranked 30th overall in Defensive Efficiency and in Fielding Percentage.

Austin Gomber has played a key role in their struggles as the Rockies pitcher has failed to mask their low level of play with his own individual production as his FIP of 5.73 and ERA of 5.49 indicates. Expect his struggles on the mound to continue to persist as he faces off against a Red Sox offense who ranks top-8 in Team Total Hits, RBIs, Total Runs Scored, and in On Base Percentage.

In a favorable matchup against Pittsburgh, Cameron will have a great opportunity to go the full length of his start as he faces off against a Pirates offense who ranks near the bottom of the board in Team Total Hits and in On Base Percentage.
