Baseball is a game of attrition. With six months and 162 games, it’s a grind. Often times, true talent wins out. This is why the Dodgers have been successful the past four seasons — their talent has been unmatched in the National League West.
This year, though, the Rockies (and Diamondbacks, but I’m focusing on Colorado for now) started off hot and have yet to cool off. Their longest losing streak is three games, which they’ve achieved three times. Other than that, they’ve been consistently good the entire season.
