Colorado Rockies vs. Arizona Diamondbacks, Wednesday, August 21 @ 1:40 PM MT

More from Rox Pile

At the beginning of the season many would predict the Diamondbacks and Rockies to switch places in the division with their current August standings. Somehow Arizona is only 2.5 games back in the Wild Card. The Diamondbacks started the season in rebuild mode trading their cornerstone first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. To further emphasize that direction, they traded their best pitcher Zack Greinke at the trade deadline to the Houston Astros, making them the favorite to win the whole thing. Somehow the D’Backs are still in second place while the Rockies are searching for answers to get out of a slump and the cellar of the NL West.

The Diamondbacks visit LoDo tomorrow for a three-game set where Peter Lambert, Jon Gray and Kyle Freeland will all make starts. Expect those three starters to try to finish the season strong to build some momentum going into the offseason. They had little coming out of the Padres series but being home against a divisional rival may help swing momentum to get ready for this YouTube game in the desert. The MLB Network crew will be broadcasting this game with former Rockies Jermey Affeldt and Eric Byrnes on the call.

Atlanta Braves vs. Colorado Rockies, Monday, August 26 @ 3:00 PM ET

The Braves are sitting comfortably with a 6.5 game lead in a surprisingly tight NL East. The Washington Nationals and the Philadelphia Phillies have been battling it out all year for a Wild Card spot but the New York Mets have made a remarkable surge only being .5 a game out of playoff contention. Don’t expect the Braves to lighten up against the Rockies in their pursuit of back-to-back NL East crowns proving last year was no fluke.

This game is a make-up game for due to inclement weather on April 10. This is the last time the Rockies will play the Braves this season. Both home and away series were played in April between these two. The Rockies hold a 2-3 record against the Braves this season.
