Entering the final series before the All-Star break, the Colorado Rockies are right in the thick of the National League Wild Card Race, sitting one game back of the Wild Card. Unfortunately for the Rockies, so is almost everybody else in the NL.
Currently, there are 12 teams within 3.5 games of the Wild Card and 14 teams within 6.5. The only team completely out of the hunt is the Miami Marlins. On the other side of the standings, 10 of 15 teams are technically still in the American League playoff race.
So what does this all mean for the Rockies?
