Colorado Rockies: The Road Trip Nobody Asked For

The Rockies are basically the traveling circus of the NL West, except the clowns have better pitching. Sitting at 40-105, they’re not just out of the division race, they’re out of reasons to even unpack the bats. Their road record? A brutal 17-53. At this point, even GPS apps are probably warning them not to bother showing up at Dodger Stadium.

Kyle Freeland (4-14, 5.10 ERA) takes the mound for Colorado, and while he’s had his moments, most of the time he looks like he’s auditioning for a batting practice gig. The Rockies have lost four straight and have only managed to win 25 games when they’ve out-hit their opponent. Translation? If they don’t mash, they crash.

Hunter Goodman has been the rare bright spot with 30 homers and 87 RBIs, while Yanquiel Fernandez has at least been hitting enough lately to keep the lineup from becoming a total ghost town. But with this pitching staff, the offense needs to score in bunches just to stay within sniffing distance.

Los Angeles Dodgers: The Star-Studded Buzzsaw

Meanwhile, the Dodgers are just doing Dodgers things: 81-64, leading the division, and making life miserable for teams like Colorado. At home, they’re a rock-solid 47-26 and seem allergic to losing whenever they keep the ball in the yard.

Blake Snell (3-4, 3.19 ERA) will start for L.A., and while his win-loss record looks underwhelming, don’t be fooled. He’s still nasty when he’s locked in. And, frankly, he doesn’t need to be perfect when Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts are terrorizing opposing pitchers like it’s a full-time hobby. Ohtani’s sitting on 48 bombs, and Mookie has been on a heater lately with 11 RBIs in his last 10 games.

This team has owned Colorado, winning 10 of the 12 meetings so far this season. At this point, the Dodgers might as well start calling the Rockies their personal sparring partners.

Betting Outlook & Prediction

The Dodgers are massive -345 favorites, with the total set at 8.5. That number screams mismatch, and the only real drama is whether the Rockies can keep the game respectable. Spoiler: probably not. Snell spins a gem, Ohtani adds fireworks, and Colorado remembers they’re one step closer to golfing season.

Score Prediction:  Dodgers 7, Rockies 2
Pick: LA Dodgers -2.5 (+105)
Total: Over 8.5 (-104)
