tbh, I don't really understand why Coors would be such an advantage. It's not like the visiting team doesn't also benefit from the additional ball flight.

Do you think it has to do with roster building? Like the Rockies don't spend money on pitching because pitching has less value at Coors, so they load up on offensive talent instead?

In addition to farther fly ball flight, the thinner air in Coors Field lessens the amount of distance a breaking ball moves when pitched. You'd think they would spend top dollar for every pitcher with a heavy 94+ mph sinker.

While other teams play a single (or handful of) series a year at Coors Field, the Rockies have to adjust to breaking pitches being more effective while playing away half the time which would be a bigger disadvantage than the ball not flying as far at away ballparks.

On average, Rockies players are better acclimated to playing at altitude; consider that they sometimes play back to back home series against different teams, while visiting teams play at most one consecutive series in Denver. This is why visiting teams tend to send their expected starting pitcher to Colorado a couple days early.
