Though unlikely, let’s say the Rockies beat the Dodgers. They would then play either the Washington Nationals or the Chicago Cubs. Colorado’s odds against Washington: 25%

This is given the Nationals beat the Cubs, which seems likely at this point in the season. After likely taking 5 epic games to defeat the Dodgers, the Rockies would likely have a lot of fatigue and weakness in the bullpen. However, if the offense is hot, the Rockies can beat anybody. We have never seen any position player on the Rockies in the playoffs, besides Carlos Gonzalez. And Cargo really isn’t an important piece in their offense anymore. Who knows how this team will respond when in these pressure situations.

The Rockies are pretty massive underdogs in this series, but the offensive firepower they have will always give them a chance, which is why the odds of winning stand at 25%.
