The Colorado Rockies enter Thursday with a .5 game lead on the Los Angeles Dodgers for the NL West (and the Dodgers do not play until Friday). They would also have a strong hold on the Wild Card if it came to that as well.
In fact, the Colorado Rockies nearly have an 88 percent chance of making the playoffs (after it was 25% this time last week). The Colorado Rockies haven’t quite followed my scenario for an easy division win but they have put themselves in position to do so the hard way.
