Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers reclaimed first place in the NL West Division after a weekend sweep of the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers won all three games of the series, including a dramatic 5-4 victory in the finale thanks to a solo home run by Mookie Betts. The Dodgers now have a two-game lead over the Padres and will face the Rockies next, a team they are undefeated against this season. Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto will start the series opener, boasting a 10-8 record with a 2.84 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 23 starts this season. Despite key injuries to Justin Jarvis, Hyeseong Kim, and Tanner Scott, the Dodgers have continued their winning ways and look to extend their success against the Rockies.

Colorado Rockies

The Colorado Rockies, who currently hold the worst record in the MLB, have experienced recent success with three consecutive wins, including a comeback victory over the Diamondbacks. The team's fifth win in six games has put them in a position to avoid setting the worst single-season record in MLB history. Pitcher Kyle Freeland will start in the upcoming game against the first-place Dodgers, with a record of 3-12 in 22 starts this season. The Rockies have won three of Freeland's last five starts. Key injuries for the team include SP Case Williams, 2B Thairo Estrada, SP German Marquez, and RP Seth Halvorsen being sidelined.

Dodgers Look to Extend Winning Streak with Victory Over Rockies in Colorado

The Los Angeles Dodgers secured a convincing sweep against the Colorado Rockies earlier this season, winning all three games by a margin of two runs or more. The strong performances of Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts in the recent series against the Padres bode well for the Dodgers' lineup. Rockies' starter Freeland has struggled at home this season, boasting a 1-5 record with an ERA nearing seven. In contrast, Yamamoto has been impressive on the road with an ERA of just 2.28 and seven wins. With a recent sweep of the Padres, the Dodgers enter this series with momentum and aim to extend their lead in the NL West Division. Anticipate the Dodgers to continue their winning streak against the Rockies in Colorado, making it four consecutive victories overall. A prudent choice would be to take the Dodgers with the run line.
