If we look back to the 86 wins threshold for the sixth seed in the National League and apply that standard today, it means the Rockies will need 53 more wins in their final 85 games just to crack the edge of the playoff picture. That’s a .624 W-L%, a mark better than what every other team in baseball has posted to this point outside of the New York Yankees, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers.
That’s not happening.
So, once again, the Rockies will be in the “seller” bucket for the upcoming trade deadline on August 2.
