Saturday marks the 30th anniversary of the first game at Coors Field , fantasy baseball's dream venue for hitters.

The Colorado Rockies are off to franchise record-worst starts in terms of batting average ( .255 ) and slugging percentage ( .431 ) The Rockies ' strikeout rate is what's propping up their Coors matchup as more fantasy-friendly than it has ever been.

Rockies hitters can still be a good play in fantasy, but only when your roster lacks a stronger alternative.

Relievers are also much stronger fantasy plays in Coors nowadays, considering the Rockies might challenge for an MLB -worst win-loss record.

The only rationale for sitting a strikeout-generating pitcher visiting Coors is if your league's settings place a premium on starts or innings.
