The Colorado Rockies (3-7) and Los Angeles Dodgers (8-2) kick off a three-game set Tuesday at 10:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
RHP Antonio Senzatela is the projected starting pitcher for the Rockies. He is 1-1 with a 5.56 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 4.0 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 11 1/3 IP in his two starts this season. He was hammered for 7 earned runs, 9 hits and 1 walk in just 3 1/3 innings in a loss against the Dodgers at Coors Field in his first start of the season.
RHP Trevor Bauer is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. He is 1-0 with a 4.15 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 13.8 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 through 13 IP spanning 2 starts. Bauer allowed 4 earned runs, 3 hits and 2 walks with 10 strikeouts in his Dodgers debut April 2 opposite Senzatela. He struck out 10 batters in each of his first two starts in Dodger Blue.

- Money line: Rockies +260 (bet $100 to win $260) | Dodgers -350 (bet $350 to win $100)
- Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +2.5 (-120) | Dodgers -2.5 (+100)

Prediction
Dodgers 5, Rockies 2
Money line (ML)
The Dodgers (-350) will cost you three and a half times your potential return on the money line, and that’s a terrible long-term strategy.
Even though L.A. has won three straight games, and eight of its past nine, AVOID.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The DODGERS -2.5 (+100) are worth a small-unit play to win by 3 or more runs. They won by 3 or more in each of their past two games, and they won by 5 in Bauer’s first start against the Rockies.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 8 (-115) is worth a look with Bauer on the bump in his Dodger Stadium debut. The Under connected in four of the past five games for L.A., and six of its past eight, including Bauer’s last outing in Oakland April 7.
The Under connected in all three of Colorado’s road outings so far this season, five straight games overall and seven of the previous eight.
