The Colorado Rockies are off to their best season in franchise history with a 54-41 record.

However, they are third in the NL West, arguably the best division in baseball. They are 11 games behind the Dodgers and half a game behind Arizona.

They currently hold the second wild card spot with a five and a half game lead over the Chicago Cubs. As of right now, it seems as though three NL West teams could be playing in October. And the Diamondbacks improved their team on Tuesday afternoon when it was announced they had won the trading war for Detroit outfielder J.D. Martinez.

However, there are some teams that the Rockies and their fans should keep an eye out for. Let’s dive in and see which ones are the biggest threats to Colorado’s postseason hopes.

Note: All records listed are prior to Tuesday night play.
