We’re down to the final dozen games of the regular-season, and the #Rockies’ two-game lead over the Milwaukee Brewers seems perilous — but is it, really?

Hosts Shawn Drotar (Mile High Sports Radio) and Ryan Greene (5280 Sports Network) do the playoff math and figure that an 8-4 finishing kick would get the job done for the Rockies.
