Better May Than Last Year

You may find this hard to believe, but the Rockies actually had a better May in 2012 than 2011.   The Rockies took a 4 game winning streak and 6 of 8 streak to close out the month and complete a  10-18 Month.  In 2011, the Rockies lost 10 of their last 13 to finish 8-21.

The Rockies have a lot of ground to make up after digging themselves a huge hole, and there are finally some signs of them breaking out of it.  And they start June with their last chance to directly gain ground on the Dodgers before early August.  The Dodgers have also played 30 of their first 51 games at home where they are     21-9 (21-5) before a recent 4 game sweep by Milwaukee.   The Rockies may have a chance to further close the gap as the Dodgers play 19 of 28 on the road in June (although 3 of those road games are against the Angels).  The Dodgers are 11-10 on the road, while the Rockies play 15 of 27 at home where things are starting to heat up.
