The final series of the 2024 season has arrived. It pits the National League’s best squad Dodgers (96-54) against the NL’s second-worst team, the Rockies (61-98).
The Rockies need to win the series to avoid their second consecutive and second-ever 100-loss season. While even a sweep would produce a slight improvement from 2023’s 103 losses, avoiding triple-digit defeats won’t be easy.
With their 7-2 victory over the Padres on Thursday, the Dodgers captured their 11th NL West title in the last 12 years. The Dodgers enter the series having locked up a first-round bye locked up.
