Cautious Optimism

The Rockies are riding a 7 game winning streak and have won 14 of the past 18 after knocking off the Reds today to complete a sweep of the 1st place Reds. They can't afford a let down now as the last place D-Backs come to town while the Padres and Giants play 4 in San Diego meaning with every win, they will pick up ground on one of the two teams ahead of them. San Diego then comes to Denver next week which puts the Rockies in a head to head to make a move on first place.

Meanwhile the Dodgers are fading and are now 7.5 games behind the Rockies which gives the Rockies an excellent chance to finish ahead of the Dodgers for only the 2nd time in their history.

The Cardinals and Atlanta also have a 4 game series in Atlanta. The more games the Cards can win helps the Rockies in the Wild Card Race.

Lots of possibilities remain for both Playoff berths, but the Rockies need to continue the roll they are on especially while they are home.
