All the NL MVP candidates dropped on the road. Fielder and Wright had their OPS drop by over 100 points.

wrights and fielders were still over .900

Of course Coors Field helped his stats some, but also consider that three of the road parks in his division are pitchers parks. Also, the four other teams in his division were #1, #4, #5, and #6 in team ERA in the NL.

that doesnt explain the home/road disparities since they play these pitchers in both parks
[/ QUOTE ]
Of course it does (or, at least goes a way towards explaining). The Rockies play 81 games in their home park, and play a total of 27 road games in NL West pitchers' parks. So the Coors benefit to home OPS would not be completely offset by their road OPS in LA, SD, and San Francisco.
The corrollary is, non-Rockies get more help to their road OPS than Rockies players do.
