4* Rockies at Angels
I'm not standing in front of this Colorado express train, reminiscent of September, 2007. The Rockies have completely turned things around since firing their manager and going with Jim Tracy. Since Tracy moved from bench coach to manager, the Rockies have gone 17-5, moving from the National League West basement to two games over .500. While the Los Angeles Dodgers still look nearly unreachable in the NL West, the Rockies now are a legitimate wild-card contender. The Rockies came back from the dead again, winning for the 15th time in 16 games on Todd Helton's walkoff, two-run blast that gave the Rockies a 9-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Starter Aaron Cook keeps the ball down and is 6-3 on the year, plus 3-0 with a 2.14 ERA his last three starts. LA starter Matt Palmer may be 6-0, but he does not have dominating stuff, with an ERA over 4. A great spot for the red-hot visitors. Play the Rockies.
