The Houston Astros and the Colorado Rockies, while not traditional rivals, have a history stemming from their time sharing the National League West division from 1993 to 2012. Though now in different leagues (Astros in the American League West and Rockies in the National League West), they continue to meet occasionally during interleague play. While the Astros have generally held a historical edge in their matchups, the Rockies have proven to be a challenging opponent, especially when playing at their home field, Coors Field, known for its high altitude and hitter-friendly environment. Games between these two teams often provide exciting baseball due to the offensive potential on both sides.
