Here we are on the eve of the 2026 MLB season, and we’ll have Colorado Rockies baseball this weekend. As a refresher, my preference is to write a (very rough) SWOT analysis that examines strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

The Rockies luck against the Dodgers has rarely been good, and that trend will probably continue in 2026.
