The Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers meet Tuesday in MLB action at Dodger Stadium. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Colorado Rockies have scored 9 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 4 of their first 5 games. The Rockies have split their last 4 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Kris Bryant leads the Rockies with 7 hits and 1 RBI, while CJ Cron and Charlie Blackmon have combined for 14 hits and 10 RBI. German Marquez gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 5 strikeouts this season. Marquez is 3-4 with a 3.58 ERA and 90 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 24 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 3 of their first 5 games. The Dodgers are 3-0 this season when scoring 4 or more runs. Freddie Freeman leads the Dodgers with 8 hits, while Will Smith and JD Martinez have combined for 11 hits and 11 RBI. Julio Urias gets the ball, and he is 1-0 with a 3.00 ERA and 6 strikeouts this season. Urias is 5-2 with a 4.91 ERA and 72 strikeouts in his career against the Rockies.
The Rockies are 25-55 in their last 80 road games and 6-14 in their last 20 overall. The Dodgers are 88-32 in their last 120 home games and 69-28 in their last 97 overall. The under is 6-2 in Rockies last 8 overall. The under is 3-0-1 in Dodgers last 4 Tuesday games. The Rockies are 22-56 in the last 78 meetings in Los Angeles and 21-51 in the last 72 meetings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers should be favored for obvious reasons, but these prices are insane. The Dodgers haven’t found their stride just yet, the Rockies’ offense has been capable through 5 efforts, and Colorado has had past success against Urias. We’re getting over 2 times our money. I’ll take a shot with the Rockies.
