The Rockies travel to Dodger Stadium for a three-game series against Los Angeles from Friday through Sunday. Here’s five story lines to watch as Colorado takes on its divisional rival:

But with seven games between the teams before the month is out, this weekend’s series could be the turning point the Rockies need to swing some divisional momentum back in their favor.
