The Diamondbacks have the Rockies’ number. The numbers say so.
The National League West division leaders are 5-1 against the Rockies this season. That, after going 11-8 last season, and then beating Colorado 11-8 in the NL wild-card game.
But the Rockies have a chance to turn the tables over the next two weeks. They host the D-backs for three games beginning Tuesday night, then play three more at Arizona from July 20-22, immediately after the all-star break. Colorado (46-44) enters Tuesday’s game in third place in the NL West, 3 ½ games behind Arizona. The Dodgers are in second place, one game behind Arizona, entering their Monday night game at San Diego.
