The Colorado Rockies are playing some of their best baseball of the 2021 season as the season draws to a close and that could end the NL West hopes for the Los Angeles Dodgers or San Francisco Giants.
After getting swept by the San Francisco Giants at home to end their last homestand, the Rockies have had one of the best road trips in their entire franchise history. They swept the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves in a rain-shortened two-game series before they headed to Philadelphia to face the Philadelphia Phillies, who are in the thick of the NL Wild Card hunt.
