The Dodgers Can Win If…
The Los Angeles Dodgers are coming off a strong performance against the Washington Nationals, winning 13-7. Shohei Ohtani had a big game with a triple and a home run, driving in five runs. Max Muncy also contributed with two home runs and seven RBIs.
The Dodgers lead the league in several key hitting categories, including batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. They have hit 123 home runs this season, ranking first in the league. With players like Ohtani and Muncy in the lineup, they have the power to put up runs quickly.
Facing the Colorado Rockies’ starter, Germán Márquez, who has an ERA of 6.11, the Dodgers have a great opportunity to capitalize. Their lineup is filled with players who can get on base and drive in runs. With their strong offensive stats, the Dodgers are well-positioned to win this game.
The Rockies Can Win If…
The Colorado Rockies recently secured a 4-2 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Antonio Senzatela pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing only 2 earned runs. Mickey Moniak was key in the win, hitting a home run and driving in three runs.
The Rockies have shown power at the plate, hitting 77 home runs this season, which ranks them 16th in the league. They also have 123 doubles, placing them 13th. These stats suggest they can produce extra-base hits to score runs.
Hunter Goodman leads the team with a .284 batting average and 14 home runs. His performance, along with Germán Márquez starting on the mound, gives the Rockies a chance to win. Márquez will look to improve his 6.11 ERA and help the team secure a victory against the Dodgers.
The Lean
The Dodgers are favored with a MoneyLine of -243 against the Rockies at +195. The Dodgers have the best batting average and on-base percentage this season, while the Rockies struggle with a lower batting average and on-base percentage. My model projects the Dodgers to win 7-4, making the Dodgers a strong pick for a straight-up win.
The over/under line is set at 11.5 runs. The Dodgers’ strong hitting and the Rockies’ high ERA suggest a high-scoring game. With my model projecting a total of 11 runs, the under is the recommended pick, as it aligns closely with the set line..
Improved German Marquez Seeks Revenge as Rockies Host Dodgers
This is a mission of redemption for German Marquez. After being blown up by the Los Angeles Dodgers back in April, the improved Colorado Rockies veteran will get another shot at the National League West powerhouse on Tuesday night in the opener of a three-game series in Denver against the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers.
A Different Pitcher
Marquez (3-8, 6.11 ERA) is not the same pitcher the Dodgers saw in April when they tagged him for seven runs. After a disastrous start to the season that saw his ERA balloon over 12.00, he has been one of the lone bright spots for the Rockies. He has allowed three or fewer runs in five of his last six starts, dropping his season ERA by more than three full runs since the beginning of May. The key has been an increased use of his curveball.
“His past six outings have been his best six-outing stretch of his career, ERA-wise,” said Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer. “Whatever he’s doing, continue doing it.”
The Ohtani Phenomenon
Marquez will face a lineup led by the most unique player in baseball history, Shohei Ohtani. The reigning NL MVP is back to his two-way dominance. On Sunday, he pitched a scoreless inning to start the game and later hit his NL-leading 26th home run. The feat left even his own manager in awe.
“To watch it in real time, to go from the mound to the on-deck circle and then go to the batter’s box, pretty remarkable,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “He’s just unflappable.”
A Lopsided Rivalry
The Dodgers have historically dominated this matchup, having won seven straight games against the Rockies and 10 of 13 last season. They enter this series hot, with seven wins in their last nine games. For Colorado, overcoming this lopsided history is a major hurdle, a topic often discussed in our expert betting guide.
The Pitching Matchup
While Marquez gets the start for Colorado, the Dodgers have not yet officially named a starter for the series opener. No matter who they send to the mound, the scores and odds will likely favor the visiting powerhouse. As these two MLB teams at opposite ends of the standings clash, the question is whether Marquez’s redemption tour can continue against an elite opponent.
