There are a few potential highs and lows on the line in San Francisco as the Rockies and Giants are set to face off in their next regular season series.
So far in 2017, the Colorado Rockies are 10-1 against the San Francisco Giants. As these two teams are preparing to face off in a three-game series, the Rockies have a chance to tie their all-time mark for most wins against the Giants in a single season.
The record is sitting at 11 wins, which happened in both 2008 and 2015. A series win for the Rockies would mean beating their best mark against the Giants in franchise history, while a sweep would tie the record for most single-season wins against any NL West opponent. This mark is currently 14 win, which was set back in 2007 when the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks 14 times. That was also the season in which the Rockies earned a Wild Card berth into the playoffs and swept their way into the World Series.
The other record on the line is one that neither team wants to hold.
Both the Rockies and the Giants are in the midst of five-game losing streaks. This is the worst streak of the season for the Rockies and the second-worst for the Giants. If the Rockies were to sweep this series, the Giants will have lost eight straight games, which would set the new mark for worst losing streak in the NL West this season. A sweep in the other direction, for the Giants, would have the same effect on the Rockies.
The Rockies, having one of their better seasons in recent memory, have a chance to return to their winning ways against the struggling Giants. In doing so, the can set a positive record for themselves while pushing the Giants even lower in the NL West standings.
