Just one season after the Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers finished the regular season deadlocked and needed a Game 163 to decide the National League West, the 2019 campaign has been a season of domination for the Dodgers and disappointment for the Rockies.
So what happened? The easy answer is that the Dodgers are a franchise that is deep and can continue to call up prospects who can impact the game immediately. The Rockies? Their prospects have often had to share playing time with veterans and, when given the chance, have needed a little more time to adjust to the Majors.
