Colorado, which trails the San Diego Padres (78-67) by 2 1/2games in the wild card race, spilt a four-game series with thePhiladelphia Phillies earlier this week. The Rockies, who have not made the playoffs since 1995, are in afour-way battle for the wild card with San Diego, Philadelphia,<div class="pre">and Los Angeles. The Phillies (77-69) and Dodgers (77-69) are</div>both 1 1/2 games off the pace. Josh Fogg (9-9, 4.90 ERA) gets the ball as the Rockies look tobeat up on the Marlins before closing out the year againstdivisional rivals Los Angeles, San Diego and Arizona. Fogg has been excellent down the stretch, going 2-0 with a 2.12ERA in his last three starts. The righthander is 4-4 with a3.56 ERA in 10 starts against Florida. Winners of two straight, Florida counters with a strugglingDontrelle Willis (8-15, 5.27).
