DENVER (AP) —ago in Los Angeles http://www.metsfanproshop.com/authentic-tim-tebow-jersey , and their NL West title hopes looked all but finished.Well, look who’s back.The Rockies have a chance to end the Dodgers‘ five-year reign as division champions in a tiebreaker game Monday in Los Angeles. Colorado has never celebrated an NL West crown in franchise history.“At this point, I think everybody understands the magnitude of the game,” said Rockies slugger Matt Holliday, whose team trails the season series 12-7. “Take a deep breath and go out there and try to execute and just do what you can do.”The winner hosts Atlanta in a best-of-five Division Series starting Thursday; the loser is on the road for the NL wild-card game Tuesday against the loser of Monday’s Brewers-Cubs NL Central tiebreaker.Not many saw this sort of scenario shaping up when the Dodgers won three straight over Colorado on Sept. 17-19. But the Rockies won nine times in 10 games to force a game 163, part of the first season in major league history with a pair of tiebreakers.“We put ourselves in a good position,” Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado said. “After we got swept by the Dodgers, it seemed everybody was thinking the Dodgers are going to lock it up. It’s crazy how the tides turn and how baseball works.”Both teams are coming off blowouts. The Rockies pounded Washington 12-0 on Sunday and Los Angeles routed San Francisco 15-0. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts subbed many of his starters to get them rest and also use some of his reserves so they got some at-bats before Monday.“It’s a game where obviously it’s not do-or-die, but I think that it’s a must-win game,” said Roberts, whose team lost to Houston in Game 7 of the World Series last season. “To win the game and get a couple days off, to host the Division Series is very important.”The Dodgers fell out of the division lead with a loss Wednesday at Arizona before taking all three from the injury-plagued Giants to close out the final weekend of the regular season. A sixth straight division title by the Dodgers would be the third-longest streak since divisions started in 1969 behind Atlanta’s 14 consecutive from 1991-2005 and nine in a row by the Yankees from 1998-2006.“All the teams in the playoffs are really good. We’d rather not win the wild card and win the division,” Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp said. “That’s what we’ve got our eye on right now.”Walker Buehler (7-5, 2.76 ERA) gets the start for the Dodgers and getting scratched from Sunday’s outing. The Rockies will counter with German Marquez (14-10, 3.76 ERA), who struck out eight straight to begin his last start.“It’s two of the best young starting pitchers in the big leagues pitching in this type of game,” Rockies manager Bud Black said. “It’s great.”Colorado was missing shortstop Trevor Story for most of the Dodgers series after he hurt his elbow in the opener. He ended up missing five games.“We’ve got our good lineup back Neil Walker Jersey ,” Arenado said.And Arenado has rediscovered his swing. He homered twice Sunday to take over the NL lead with 37. He’s looking forward to getting booed when his name is announced at Dodger Stadium.“That’s when you know you’ve done something,” Arenado said.Monday marks the 11-year anniversary of Colorado’s 9-8, 13-inning win over San Diego in a tiebreaker for the wild card, back when there was one wild card per league. There was some controversy over whether Holliday actually touched home plate with a hand when running home on Jamey Carroll’s game-ending sacrifice fly against Trevor Hoffman. Black was in charge of the Padres then and kiddingly contends Holliday never hit home plate.“Luckily for Buddy,” Holliday cracked, “he’s got me on his side this year.” With better composure and control, Dyson is ticketed for the first round"WhiteFanposts FanpostsFanshotsSections AnalysisGame RecapsGamethreadsMinorsOffbeatFull ArchiveExclusives South Side Sox Hall of FameCard of the MonthDeep DiveDigitsFlashbackFranchise FactsKnow Your EnemyMost Essential White SoxRace to the BottomSix Pack of StatsSouth Side SnapSouth Side StumperSSS Literary SupplementSuper Stats PackThe Game I’ll Never ForgetTwitterpatingUnder the RadarView From the Other SideWhite Sox on SB Nation HomeStoriesScheduleRosterStatsWhite Sox on Yahoo!

This year’s draft class is loaded with excellent hitting prospects, but is relatively weak on the pitching side. Draft Prospects You Should Know is a new series that features prospects who the White Sox could pursue in this year’s draft. As the June draft nears, we’ll return to many of these athletes and provide updates on whether their stocks are rising (or falling). Age listed as of Day One of the Draft (June 3).Tyler DysonUniversity of FloridaRight-Handed Starting PitcherAge 21Bats RightThrows RightRankingsBaseball America 13MLB 30FanGraphs 63The last three years have seen a total of five Florida Gators pitchers drafted in the first round: A.J. Puk (2016), Dane Dunning (2016), Alex Faedo (2017) Adrian Gonzalez Jersey , Brady Singer (2018) and Jackson Kowar (2018). Is Tyler Dyson going to be the next one on that list? A lot will depend on how Dyson performs this year, as his results were mediocre due to control issues last year. These are his results in his first two seasons at the University of Florida:2017 24 G, 2 GS, 3.23 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 39 IP, 30 H (.225 OBA), 10 BB, 47 K2018 14 G, 11 GS, 4.47 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 50 IP, 50 H (.254 OBA), 28 BB, 51 KDyson opened last spring as Florida’s Sunday starter, pitching behind Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar in the rotation. A nagging shoulder injury limited Dyson in the second half of the season Jose Bautista Jersey , but he was able to get back on the mound, and pitched well in the Cape Cod League (2.37 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 10.9 K/9) last summer.At his best, Dyson can be as electric as his former Gators teammates. He can run his fastball into the mid-90s (peaking at 97 mph, per MLB) and mixes in a sharp slider and an effective but inconsistent changeup. MLB grades his pitches at 65, 55 and 45 respectively. Listed at 6, 225 pounds, Dyson has the size, stuff and control to start. He threw too few strikes during the regular college season in 2018 and didn’t have great command within the zone, as evidenced by his 28 walks in 50 innings last year; his control is graded at 45 as a result.Dyson still needs to improve his consistency (he loses his crispness for an inning at times and things go sideways) and prove his durability in the rotation for a full spring. But if he can put it all together, Dyson can front the Gators rotation and follow the well-worn path from Gainesville to the first round. If not, Dyson may fall to the second or third round instead. A reasonable White Sox comp may be Dane Dunning — especially if Dyson can refine his control. Previously, on Draft Prospects You Should KnowMatt Wallner, Southern Miss OF
