With half the season in the books, it looks as though the Coors Effect has not diminished greatly. Runs per game there (11.9 for both teams combined) are still the highest in the majors and are about 43 percent above the median of the other NL teams (8.3). The Rockies and their opponents have combined for a major-league-leading .298 batting average at Coors, while the median for the other NL parks is .249. At home, the Rockies are scoring 6.3 runs per game, about 79 percent more than the 3.5 runs they scratch out on the road. Their batting average is .317 at home and .226 on the road, and they are hitting 93 percent more home runs per game at Coors than in other parks. Humidifying the balls may be reducing the Coors Effect marginally, but the park still favors hitters much more than any other big-league venue.
