I know I sound like a broken record, but I’m going to say it again: The Rockies can win the National League West this year for the first time in franchise history.
It would be a big deal, not only because it would be an important milestone for the franchise, but because it would guarantee a spot in the National League division series, rather than playing in the single-shot wild-card game.
Heading into the weekend, with one-quarter of the season remaining, the Rockies were 1 ½ games behind Arizona, a half-game ahead of the Dodgers and 4 ½ games ahead of San Francisco.
