The Rockies have endured a disappointing season, going 53-75, but they have excelled against the Dodgers.

Los Angeles is sixteen games ahead of Colorado in the standings, but the Rockies have won eight of their fourteen games against the Dodgers in 2012.

"This is where you want to make up your ground," Don Mattingly said. "It doesn't make sense. The Rockies have more wins against us, but we've played the Cardinals and Braves real well."
