The Colorado Rockies wrapped up their pivotal four-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Coors Field on Sunday afternoon. Ryan McMahon provided plenty of highlights in the series. The feelings were great, but now the rest of a tough August schedule remains.

The road ahead doesn’t get any easier for the Colorado Rockies, who, after an off day, face the defending World Champion Houston Astros in Houston on Tuesday and Wednesday. From there, the Rockies head to Atlanta for a four-game series against the Braves, who are currently settled into the second National League Wild Card spot.

After another off day, the Rockies come home to face the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals for three-game series before heading back on the road to face the Los Angeles Angels and Padres as August concludes.

So what can the Rockies do improve and have an even better chance of making the postseason? Of course, we have some ideas and some things that we’d like to see change.
