Colorado Rockies: Don’t panic. Just start winning games.

The odds are against them and the task is tall, but all the Colorado Rockies likely have to do is win and they’re in.

The Colorado Rockies have had a rough stretch, losing five out of six and being swept in an all-important series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. They’ll also be without Trevor Story for an unknown amount of time. The Dodgers are proving the gurus and computers right by seizing control of the division. However, with all of that said, tap the brakes, Rockies fans. There are still 10 games left in the regular season.

Right now, the Rockies are 2.5 games back in the division and 1.5 games out of the Wild Card with 10 games remaining. The opponents’ records and most other odds are against the Rockies at this point, but the likelihood of the Rockies making the playoffs only increases one way … if they win. It won’t come easy, but they’ve done a lot of it this season and have the potential to get back on track.

After a tough sweep in Chavez Ravine, the Rockies have an off day before facing a tough road matchup against the Arizona Diamondbacks. However, the Diamondbacks are fading so the Rockies simply have to want it more … and have the bats come back to life.

The Rockies follow that with a seven-game homestand with the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals, so 7-3 isn’t an unreasonable dream to hope for after the Dodgers series.

If the Rockies can win seven or eight games in their next 10, the Rockies will put themselves in a position to be in the playoffs. It’s that simple.

So things haven’t gone their way but the Rockies still have time to right the ship. They need to get things right ASAP and then carry on that momentum throughout the next three series.
