Colorado Rockies: 2017 postseason outlook with 20 games remaining

Including today’s matinee with the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chavez Ravine, the Colorado Rockies have just 20 games left in the regular season. The race to the postseason has essentially hit its stretch run.

Today, we want to take a look at how Colorado stacks up against its competition over the next 20 games and just how possible Rocktober might actually be this season.

After Saturday’s 6-5 win over the Dodgers, the Rockies have a 77-65 record. They also have a three-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers for the second Wild Card slot. Each of those three teams (Rockies, Cardinals and Brewers) have 20 games left in the regular season.

Here are Colorado’s remaining 20 games…

September 10 at Los Angeles Dodgers

September 11-14 at Arizona

September 15-17 vs. San Diego

September 19-20 at San Francisco

September 21-24 at San Diego

September 25-27 vs. Miami

September 29-October 1 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
