Spoiler warning

The Colorado Rockies just finished a three game series against the San Diego Padres and it did not go well...for San Diego.

The Rockies swept the Friars at home in the final matchup between the two clubs in the 2021 season. Colorado finished with an 11-8 record against their southern California foes. San Diego dropped to 12.0 games behind San Francisco for the division lead and their hold on the second wild card spot over Cincinnati dropped to just one game.

Many in baseball circles have put a pin in this as a specific reason to point to if San Diego does manage to fall out of the playoff picture, and with good reason.
