Editor's note: After a busy first half of the 2016 MLB season, Joe Peta takes a look at both the good and bad for all 30 teams to find overvalued and undervalued clubs from a betting perspective. He also projects each team's second half. This is the entry for the Colorado Rockies.
Records reflect all games played through Sunday. All statistics are through each team's 81st game. Season-to-date pricing adds the implied win probability from the money line of each team's first 81 games and converts it to 162 games.

What's gone right: Evaluating the Rockies has bedeviled me for years, in no small part due to the effects of playing in the vast expanses of Coors Field. As usual, the Rockies are right near the top in the NL (and MLB) in scoring, so can we conclude they have a potent offense? Well, if we look at the runs scored ranking in just away games, they rank as just below average (17th).
