As for the two wildcard teams from the National League West, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Colorado Rockies, although they were suppressed by the runaway Dodgers in the division, they each have their own highlights.
The former thoroughly strengthened their batting lineup after acquiring J.D. Martinez from the Tigers, and "Z Monster" Zack Greinke broke out of his slump from last season, achieving an impressive 17 wins, 7 losses, and a 3.20 ERA. Their problem lies in an unstable bullpen, which could lead them to lose games in high-tension situations.
As for the Rockies from the mountains, their fierce batting lineup is enough to create miracles in the playoffs, provided they first solve the problem of insufficient starting pitcher suppression—since they are behind in wins, they don't need to duel with the Diamondbacks' heavy hitters in Coors Field, the notorious "pitcher's graveyard," which might be one of the few good news.
