At the beginning of the season many would predict the Diamondbacks and Rockies to switch places in the division with their current August standings.

To further emphasize that direction, they traded their best pitcher Zack Greinke at the trade deadline to the Houston Astros, making them the favorite to win the whole thing. Somehow the D’Backs are still in second place while the Rockies are searching for answers to get out of a slump and the cellar of the NL West.
