The National League West is coming down to the wire in 2018. Can the Rockies hold on to their slim lead?
Three teams. Only one makes the postseason.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado Rockies, and Arizona Diamondbacks have previously found themselves in a similar position—last year, all three teams fought in September for postseason play. In 2017 though, all three teams managed to make the postseason, thanks to the Rockies edging out the Milwaukee Brewers by one game.
That won’t be the case in 2018. The Brewers are better, the Cardinals are playing better baseball, and the Dodgers, due to injuries and weaker play this year, are not as dominant as they were a year ago.
