Colorado Rockies
Colorado won three in a row to close out its weekend series with the LA Dodgers and then won the first game of its series this weekend with Houston. So far, the 2017 World Series gauntlet has gone just fine.
The Rockies are very much in the thick of the NL wild card chase. Most of the attention remains on teams like the Dodgers, Brewers, and even the Nationals but the Rockies are two losses better than LA and only one-and-a-half back of Philly for that second playoff spot.

A lot may ride on how Nolan Arenado’s ailing shoulder holds up over the final six weeks of the regular season. He’s been playing through pain in the joint for months now and had to get a day off last week for some treatment. He’ll continue to gut it out, but how effective will he be?
Atlanta Braves
While the Phillies play a doubleheader, the Braves open up this weekend’s series at home with Colorado in town.
The Braves have a chance to sweep the Marlins in four consecutive on Wednesday. They have won four in a row and five of their last six going into that finale with a two-game lead in the NL East.

It’s Sean Newcomb’s turn in the rotation but the Braves haven’t made it clear that he will be the one getting the ball on Thursday. He gave up twelve hits in four innings the last time out against Milwaukee so there could be a possibility the Braves try and get him some extra rest.
