The Dodgers hit the road this week and lost 2 out of 3 in Cincinnati, and won 3 of 4 in St. Louis. The Rockies handled the D-Backs at home 3-1 including a walk-off HR on Wednesday, and salvaged 1 of 3 as they embarked on their road trip to San Francisco.
This week the Rockies head into Dodger Stadium. The team that wins 2 of the 3 games will spend Thursday in first place. A sweep by either team will put them in the drivers seat over the final 10 days of the season. The Dodgers then finish their home schedule against San Diego while the Rockies head to Arizona.
Arizona's last gasp to stay in the West race hinges on their performance at home this week hosting the Cubs followed by the Rockies. Currently 4.5 games behind the Rockies.
Magic Numbers: the Rockies Magic Number is 14, the Dodgers is 14 and the D-Backs is 19. The problem for the D-Backs at this point is that they need both the Rockies and Dodgers to lose to decrease their magic number. The best they can do is beat the Cubs in all 3 and have the Dodgers and Rockies split, which would decrease their number to 15. But the Rockies or Dodgers would be at 10 or less. At that point the D-Backs would need to win all 6 of their games against the Rockies and Dodgers to have any kind of chance to win the West, certainly they would need 5 of the 6 wins.
Hang on, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
Rockies Notes: The Rockies got their 41st win of the season on Sunday, and are now 41-34 on the road One more win in their final six would set a franchise record for Road Record. 2009 and 2017 the Rockies finished at 41-40. The Rockies are 38-32 vs. the NL West giving them at least a .500 record for the season. Rockies finished 12-7 against the Giants.
