Capping a sweep and a seventh straight win, the Colorado Rockies topped the Phillies 5-3 at Coors Field on a sun-splashed Thursday afternoon.
This leaves a few scenarios for the Rockies with three games left in their regular season. Let’s go from best to worst.
1) Rockies win the West with a better record than Atlanta
Colorado’s magic number to win the West is now three, meaning a combination of three Rockies wins or Dodgers losses will crown them National League West Champs for the first time ever.
In this scenario, the Rockies will likely need two or three wins to end with a better record than the Braves.
