Through the first 15 games of the season, the Rockies are 4 games better than the Giants, who head into Denver for a 3 game series on Monday Night. The Rockies have only played 4 games against the West going 3-1, while the Giants have completed 12 against the West going 6-6. The Giants will be the first NL West Team to play all four of it's division foes with the games against the Rockies. The Rockies won't play San Diego until May 13th, the same day Arizona and the Dodgers play for the first time.

The Giants have started slowly on the road this season, starting off 1-4, but have won 3 of the last 4 on the road, losing Sunday to the D-Backs in 12 innings. The Giants will be the first Rockies opponent this season who had a winning record last season, while the Giants have already played the Padres and Cardinals, going 3-2 against those two teams.
