Colorado Rockies: First Place Clinch
Colorado is eliminated from first place. They can finish the season with at most 52 + 28 = 80 wins. No team has passed that total yet, so the elimination rests on the remaining schedule and the head-to-head tiebreakers rather than win totals alone.
Here is a scenario in which Colorado wins all 28 of their remaining games and still finishes behind:
| Team | W | L | PCT | GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LAD | 98 | 64 | 0.6049382716049383 | 0.00 |
| AZ | 83 | 79 | 0.5123456790123457 | 15 |
LA Dodgers can be caught at 80 wins, but that tie is decided by the head-to-head tiebreaker. The season series is complete at 3-10, Colorado's record.
