Analyzing Saturday’s LA Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Dodgers (96-64) and Colorado Rockies (61-99) play the 2nd game of a 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Coors Field is slated for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-3

The Dodgers secured an 11-4 victory over the Rockies Friday. DH Shohei Ohtani went 4-for-5 with his 54th home run, 4 RBIs and a stolen base. His 57th steal set the single-season steals record by a Japanese-born player, passing OF Ichiro Suzuki’s 56. With this win, the Dodgers now hold a 2-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for the top NL seed.

Rockies’ starter Cal Quantrill struggled, giving up 6 earned runs on 7 hits over 3 1/3 innings. LF Nolan Jones contributed with 2 RBIs from 2 singles, but Colorado still fell short, marking their 4th loss in the last 5 games.

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 9, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers (-250) need to keep winning to lock down the top seed in the playoffs. They will win their 4th consecutive game, but I’ll take them on the run line with the better odds.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DODGERS -2.5 (-120).

LA holds 2-game lead over the Phillies, but with Philly owning the tiebreaker, the Dodgers need to keep their momentum and close out the season strong. They’ve dominated the Rockies this year, winning 8 of the 11 matchups and outscoring them 66-48. Plus, Yamamoto has been absolutely lights out on the road, sporting an ERA under 2, which should bode well for this matchup.

On the other hand, Senzatela is still shaking off the rust, as this will be just his 3rd start since returning from a long injury absence. With the Dodgers needing every win they can get and the Rockies struggling to match up, expect LA to come out aggressive and cover the spread comfortably.

Over/Under

BET OVER 11 (+100).

These 2 teams have a recent history of high-scoring affairs, with the Over hitting in 5 of their last 7 meetings. The Dodgers are hot offensively, going 7-2-1 against the Over in their last 10 games, while the Rockies aren’t far behind, at 5-1-2 in their last 8. Plus, Yamamoto’s last 3 starts have also hit the Over, indicating plenty of action on both sides of the plate. Given these trends, expect another high-scoring game between 2 teams that know how to put up runs.

LA Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s LA Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The LA Dodgers (94-64) and Colorado Rockies (61-98) begins a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Coors Field is slated for 8:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-3

The Dodgers score 5 runs in the 7th inning to win 7-2 and clinch their 11th NL West title in the last 12 years. C Will Smith broke a 2-2 tie with a 2-run blast, followed by a 2-run single from RF Mookie Betts. LA holds a slim 1-game lead on the Philadelphia Phillies for the No. 1 overall seed in the National League playoffs.

Colorado snapped a 3-game skid Thursday with a 10-8 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Five Rockies had 2+ hits and the team recorded a total of 5 doubles. The lone home run came on a 3-run blast from veteran DH Charlie Blackmon. Colorado has long been eliminated from the playoff race.

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

TBD vs. RHP Cal Quantrill

LA had not yet announced a starter, but RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-2, 2.96 ERA) is projected to make his 18th start. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 10.5 K/9 in 85 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 6-5 home win against Rockies Sunday

Quantrill (8-10, 4.72 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.49 WHIP, 4.2 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 145 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 4 BB, 5 K in 6-3 win at Dodgers Saturday

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Rockies 4

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers (-190) are trying to lock down the top seed in the playoffs. They will win this game against the far inferior Rockies.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-130).

The Dodgers are battling it out with the Phillies for that top seed in the playoffs, and with just a 1-game lead, every win counts. They want to lock up home-field advantage, and the Rockies aren’t exactly standing in their way.

LA has dominated the Rockies this season, and Quantrill has struggled big time against it. He’s 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in his 3 starts against the Dodgers. With Colorado having nothing left to play for, this feels like an easy spot for the Dodgers to cover.

Over/Under

PASS.

It’s probably best to steer clear of betting the total. Sure, 11.5 runs at Coors Field makes sense given the altitude, but that’s still a pretty high number. The Under has actually cashed 5 times in the last 10 meetings, so it’s not a guaranteed slugfest.

The Dodgers should have no problem scoring off Quantrill, but I’m not too confident the Rockies will contribute enough to hit that total. I’d play it safe and stick with the run line instead of taking a chance on the Over/Under.

Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (26-48) welcome the Los Angeles Dodgers (46-30) to Coors Field Thursday for the finale of their 4-game series. First pitch is set for 3:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 4-2

The Dodgers won the 1st 2 games of the series 9-5 and 11-9, covering in both, but lost 7-6 Wednesday. They are 22-15 on the road and have won 5 of their last 7 road games. Los Angeles hasn’t been able to put together any type of lengthy streak lately and is 5-5 over its last 10 games. The Dodgers are 38-38 against the spread (ATS).

The Rockies used a 3-run 1st inning to bounce ahead in Wednesday’s game and then won the 6-6 game in the bottom of the 9th. They are 15-21 at home and snapped a 3-game losing streak with the win. They are just 2-5 over their last 7 and have failed to cover in each loss. Colorado is 35-37 ATS.

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

RHP Gavin Stone vs. LHP Ty Blach

Stone (7-2, 3.01 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 in 74 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 4-3 home win over the Kansas City Royals Friday
  • 2024 road splits: 4-1, 2.83 ERA (28 2/3 IP, 9 ER), 1.19 WHIP, 2 HR, 6.9 K/9 in 5 starts
  • Career vs. Rockies: 1-0, 0.00 ERA (5 IP, 0 ER), 1.20 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 in 1 start, a 4-0 home win on June 2

Blach (3-4, 4.65 ERA) makes his 9th start. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 4.8 K/9 in 50 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 5 K in 16-4 home win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday
  • 2024 home splits: 3-2, 3.76 ERA (38 1/3 IP, 16 ER), 1.33 WHIP, 4 HR, 4.5 K/9 in 8 appearances (6 starts)
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 4-3, 3.13 ERA (77 2/3 IP, 27 ER), 1.24 WHIP, 5.2 K/9 in 20 appearances (9 starts)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers are the far better side and have a strong starting pitcher on the mound. Expect them to come out on top. At -220, there’s no value in betting on it though.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-146).

The Dodgers are 16-13 ATS following a loss and have covered in every win against the Rockies this season. Los Angeles has covered in 3 of its last 4 wins and in 3 of Stone’s last 4 starts.

Meanwhile, the Rockies haven’t lost by just 1 run since May 23, 15 start multi-run losses. They have failed to cover in 7 of their last 10 games as well. That said, assuming the Dodgers win with the far better option on the mound, there’s a strong chance they cover.

Despite the odds, take DODGERS -1.5 (-146). You could also consider the Dodgers at -2.5, which is -108 at FanDuel and +100 at BetMGM.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 12 (-108).

The Dodgers have gone Over in 3 straight, but are 4-4 O/U in their last 8 and have gone Under in 3 of Stone’s last 4 starts, allowing 3 or fewer runs in all 4 of those. The Rockies-Dodgers series has gone Over in all 3 games. Prior to that for Colorado, it was 3-4 O/U in its last 7 and has scored 2 or fewer in 4 of those.

In Blach’s last 5 starts, the Rockies have allowed 19 runs. Both teams have good starting options, and considering all 3 prior games have gone Over, expect the streak to snap and take UNDER 12 (-108).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Dodgers (46-29) take on the Colorado Rockies (25-48) Wednesday in the 3rd game of a 4-game set at Coors Field at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 4-1

The Dodgers used a 7-run 9th inning to storm back to an 11-9 victory Tuesday, but it wasn’t without controversy. OF Teoscar Hernandez had a check swing on a 1-2 pitch that was ruled no-swing. He then hit a 2-run homer to give the Dodgers the eventual win. Rockies manager Bud Black was ejected, and Rockies players were visibly yelling at umpires due to the potential missed call. The Dodgers have won 3 in a row and scored 20 runs in the 2 games of this series so far.

The Rockies got out to a 6-1 lead after 2 innings Tuesday, but no lead is safe in Coors. OF Brenton Doyle went 4-for-5 with a homer and 2 RBIs. He’s 8-for-18 (.444) over his last 4 games. He’s hitting .348 at home this season, compared to just .213 on the road. The Rockies have lost 3 in a row and 5 of 6.

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

RHP Bobby Miller vs. RHP Ryan Feltner

Miller (1-1, 5.40 ERA) makes his 4th start. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 13.9 K/9 through 11 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 4 K in 3-2 loss April 10 at Minnesota Twins
  • 2024 MiLB stats: 0-2, 7.80 ERA, 1.80 WHIP in 4 GS
  • 1 career start at Coors: Win, 7 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 11-2 victory Sept. 26

Feltner (1-6, 5.71 ERA) makes his 15th start. He has a 1.45 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 through 75 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 6 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 8 K in 5-2 home setback Friday against Pittsburgh Pirates
  • 3 career starts vs. Dodgers: 1-2, 7.90 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, 11 K in 13 2/3 IP

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 9, Rockies 8

Moneyline

As you’ll notice, Miller had a great start in Coors late last year. I put zero stock in it. In 3 starts at Triple-A this month, he has allowed 10 ER in 12 IP. He allowed 15 hits and 5 walks.

Feltner is nothing to write home about either, as he allowed 4+ ER in 3 of his last 4, and in that 4th start, he allowed 4 runs that were unearned.

I strongly considered the Rockies’ ML at +165, but I just don’t have the faith in that team after blowing a 9-2 lead in the 9th Tuesday.

Instead, try this on for size. 1B Elehuris Montero went 2-for-4 with a homer Tuesday and has 2+ total bases in 3 straight games. He also had 2 hits against Miller in that late-season start last year. Take ELEHURIS MONTERO OVER 1.5 TOTAL BASES (+135) for a solid return.

Run line/Against the spread

I didn’t have the appetite for the Rockies’ ML, but I will make the leap on the RL. They’re 16-19 ATS at home, and 14 of their 25 wins on the season have been at Coors. Neither team has a quality starter, and both bullpens were ran through last night. I’ll take the ROCKIES +1.5 (+105) in a revenge spot.

Over/Under

The wind figures to blow out to left-center at 8 mph around first pitch. But does it really matter after 11-9 and 9-5 finals the last 2 nights? Both teams are 6-4 O/U in their last 10 games, and this one is going OVER 10.5 (-105).

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-1

The Dodgers took the series opener on Monday 9-5 as starter James Paxton allowed only 1 ER in 7 IP. The Rockies scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to give the Over (12) a win. The Dodgers have won 2 in a row, 3 of 4 and 7 of their last 11 games.

The Rockies fell to 1-3 on their homestand with Monday’s loss. They are 4-12 in their last 16 games.

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

RHP Walker Buehler vs. LHP Austin Gomber

Buehler (1-4, 4.64 ERA) makes his 8th start. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 in 33 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Rockies have lost 12 of their last 16 games overall and are 1-6 in their last 7 home games. They are 9-14 against teams with winning records and have lost 13 of their last 17 games against the Dodgers.

The Dodgers had only scored 12 runs in their previous 5 games, but broke out for 9 in the opener.

While Buehler has only been great in 1 start this season, Gomber has struggled in June.

The Dodgers should pick up a win but don’t bet them on the moneyline.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies are 16-16 ATS at home this season while the Dodgers are 18-16 ATS on the road, so neither trend is particularly useful to lean one way or the other.

But when it comes to the Dodgers winning, it is a safe bet that they will win by at least 2 runs. Of their last 13 wins, 11 have been by more than 1 run. Of their 45 wins, 37 have been by at least 2 runs.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-120) and if you want to make a little more money, as their last 7 wins over the Rockies, including all 3 this season, have been by at least 3 runs. You get +125 odds on the Dodgers -2.5 alternate spread. That is also worth a small wager to ladder.

Over/Under

It took a 4-run bottom of the 9th by Colorado when they were down 8 runs to get the Over a win in the opener. It is the only game between the 2 teams this season that has gone Over the projected total.

Only 2 of the Dodgers’ last 8 games have surpassed 11 total runs while the Rockies are 16-15-1 O/U at home.

With the Over hitting Monday, don’t expect it in this game.

BET UNDER 11 (-110).

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Rockies have lost 11 of their last 15 games overall and are 1-5 in their last 6 home games. They are 9-13 against teams with winning records and have lost 12 of their last 16 games against the Dodgers.

But Quantrill has not allowed a run in his last 2 outings.

The Dodgers have only scored 12 runs in their last 5 games, but have allowed 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their last 6 games and in 7 of their last 9.

The Dodgers are 9-3 when Paxton is on the mound.

Expect he Dodgers to get the win, but don’t bet them at -175 as there isn’t the value you can get on the run line.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies are 16-15 ATS at home this season while the Dodgers are 17-16 ATS on the road, so neither trend is particularly useful to lean one way or the other.

But when it comes to the Dodgers winning, it is a safe bet that they will win by at least 2 runs. Of their last 12 wins, 10 have been by more than 1 run. Of their 44 wins, 36 have been by at least 2 runs.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-120).

Over/Under

Coors Field is known for its high-scoring games. Half of the Rockies’ last 12 home games have had at least 12 total runs.

But only 2 of Quantrill’s starts this season have reached 12 total runs.

BET UNDER 12 (-115).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (44-35) take on the Colorado Rockies (32-50) in the finale of a 3-game set Thursday at Coors Field. First pitch is at 8:40 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-1

The Dodgers were overpowered 9-8 Wednesday after taking the series opener 5-0 in a rare shutout at Coors Field. L.A. is just 9-11 over its last 20 games and sits in 3rd place, 3 games out in the NL West. The Dodgers are 13-11 in the NL West and 20-20 on the road.

The Rockies have traded wins and losses over the last 6 games, but they’re just 6-14 over the last 20. The 9 runs they scored Wednesday were the most they’ve plated since scoring 11 on May 28. The Rockies are now 19-21 at home but just 5-16 against divisional opponents.

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

RHP Emmet Sheehan vs. RHP Chase Anderson

Sheehan (1-0, 1.50 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 0.58 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and a 5.3 K/9 over 12 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 4 K on Friday against the Houston Astros

  • Last start: Loss, 2 2/3 IP, 9 ER, 10 H, 2 BB, 1 K on Saturday against Los Angeles Angels

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 9, Rockies 6

Moneyline

We had a good beat on Colorado Wednesday, but I wasn’t comfortable enough to throw down on their ML. We would have had to sweat that one out as they went up 4-0, down 6-4 and almost gave it away late.

I’m not feeling the Rockies at all Thursday. Anderson has given up 16 ER in 5 2/3 IP over his last 2 starts. We truly don’t know what to expect from the rookie Sheehan in his first taste of Coors Field. He uses a fastball, slider and changeup, but he relies on the 96-mph heater 65% of the time. Opposing hitters are 0-for-23 off of it, but the thin air will affect it.

I look for the Dodgers to take this one, but I’m not paying -210 for it. Head to the Win/Total section and take DODGERS and OVER 7.5 (-135) at a more reasonable rate.

Run line/Against the spread

The Rockies scored the most runs they have in over a month Wednesday, and they averaged just 3.67 runs per game in the previous 9 games. While the Dodgers have a wild-card rookie on the mound, I can’t back the Rockies to keep it within 3 runs in the series finale Thursday. The Dodgers have also not given enough confidence this season to back them by 3. If the spread falls to -1.5, take the Dodgers.

Otherwise, PASS.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The wind was blowing in pretty hard Wednesday, and we still saw 17 runs cross the plate. The total is a half-run lower Thursday. Anderson has given up at least 7 in his last 2 starts, and Sheehan will have to figure out how his stuff moves in the thin air on the fly.

I’ll LEAN OVER 12 (-105).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (44-34) take on the Colorado Rockies (31-50) in the 2nd of a 3-game set Wednesday at Coors Field. First pitch is at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-0

The Dodgers took the series opener in a rare 5-0 shutout at Coors Tuesday with LHP Clayton Kershaw allowing 1 hit over 6 scoreless frames with just 2 strikeouts and DH J.D. Martinez hitting his 300th career homer. The Dodgers have won 5 of 6 after a rough stretch as they’re 9-11 over the last 20. Los Angeles sits 3 games back of the NL West-leading Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Rockies have traded wins and losses over the last 4 games, but they’re just 5-15 over the last 20. OF Kris Bryant (heel) is set to begin a rehab assignment Wednesday and his return should help a team that is 3rd-worst with 0.89 home runs per game. The Rockies are 18-21 at home but just 4-16 against divisional opponents.

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

TBD vs. LHP Kyle Freeland

The Dodgers are going with a bullpen game Wednesday and have not announced who will open the game.

  • Los Angeles’ bullpen is 26th in MLB with a 4.64 ERA but 7th with 309 strikeouts
  • RHP Michael Grove, who was recently demoted to the bullpen, figures to see action in this game. He went 0-2 with an 8.10 ERA in the rotation but threw 2 scoreless innings in his first relief outing Friday.

Freeland (4-8, 4.54 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.40 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and a 5.6 K/9 over 85 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 5 IP, 4 R (3 ER), 9 H, 2 BB, 3 K Friday against Los Angeles Angels.
  • Last 5 starts vs. Dodgers: 2-2, 5.33 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 30 K in 27 IP
  • Better at home: 3-2 with a 3.42 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 vs. 1-6 with a 5.92 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 3.3 K/9 on the road

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 5

Moneyline

The Rockies are resilient. The Angels clobbered them 25-1 Saturday in the worst loss in the history of the franchise, but they came back the next day and won 4-3.

The Dodgers are banged up, and their bullpen has been awful. After just 3 hits Tuesday, I look for the Rockies to come out swinging. Freeland is from Colorado and has always been able to navigate the thin air. He has beaten the Dodgers in his last 2 matchups against them at Coors, allowing 3 ER in 6 IP each time.

I’m not ready to anoint this Rockies team as the winner, but I love them ATS Wednesday.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Freeland has not won in his last 7 starts, but he has kept teams to 3 ER or fewer in 4 of them and 3 of those outings were at Coors.

The Dodgers are scoring 3.8 runs per game over the last 10 outings. Again, I think Colorado could win this game, but I’m just not quite willing to throw down on it.

I LOVE giving Colorado two runs here. Take the ROCKIES +2.5 (-120).

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The wind is blowing in at 14 mph with a mid-80s temperature in Denver. I feel like the books are overreacting just a bit to the pitching matchup. Freeland has a sub-4 ERA at home, and Colorado is 18th at 4.47 runs/9. The Over is just 3-7 over the last 10 games between these teams. The Under is 5-0-2 in the Dodgers’ last 7 road games.

Take the UNDER 12.5 (-110).

Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Colorado Rockies odds and lines, with expert MLB picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (43-34) and the Colorado Rockies (31-49) open a 3-game series at Coors Field in Denver on Tuesday. First pitch is scheduled for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-0

The Dodgers suffered a 6-5 setback Sunday in their series finale against the Houston Astros, although Los Angeles took 2 of 3 games in a rematch of the controversial 2017 World Series. L.A. has won 4 of the past 5 games overall but remains in 3rd place in the NL West, 3 games back of the division-leading Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Rockies won 2 of 3 games from the other Los Angeles area team over the weekend, although the Angels outscored them 32-12 in the series. That’s because the Halos won Saturday’s game by a 25-1 count. The Rockies are just 2-9 in the past 11 games overall.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Dodgers at Rockies projected starters

LHP Clayton Kershaw vs. RHP Connor Seabold

Kershaw (9-4, 2.72 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 10.4 K/9 across 89 1/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in a 2-0 road win vs. the Los Angeles Angels last Tuesday
  • 2023 road splits: 5-3, 3.44 ERA (52 1/3 IP, 20 ER – 7 HR) with a .246 OBA in 9 starts

Seabold (1-3, 5.88 ERA) makes his 10th start and 17th appearance. He has a 1.48 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 6.8 K/9 across 56 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 3 IP, 9 ER, 9 H (4 HR), 1 BB, 1 K in a 10-2 road loss vs. the Atlanta Braves on June 17
  • 2023 home splits: 0-1, 4.91 ERA (29 1/3 IP, 16 ER – 4 HR) with a .274 OBA in 4 starts and 5 relief appearances

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-300) are a very risky play in this series opener considering you’d be laying 3 times your potential return on the road against a team that played them tough last season.

However, the way Colorado (+240) has played recently and the fact it is facing the southpaw Kershaw, means the Rox cannot be trusted either.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The ROCKIES +2.5 (+105) are worth playing very, very lightly. It’s mostly based on the fact Kershaw has been fairly mortal on the road this season, while keeping in mind that Colorado played Los Angeles tough last season. Back the Rox, but don’t get carried away.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

UNDER 12 (-110) is the play, although going low on totals at Coors Field is always a risky proposition.

The Under is 4-0-2 in Los Angeles’ past 6 road games and is 3-1-1 in its last 5 series openers. The Under is also 3-0-1 in the Dodgers’ last 4 games on the road against a right-handed starting pitcher.

The Under has cashed at a 4-1 clip in the past 5 games at Coors for the Rockies and is 4-1 in their last 5 games inside the division. The Under is also an impressive 12-3-1 in their past 16 tries against a left-handed starting and 5-1 in their last 6 in this series.

Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 4

Money line

The Dodgers are 22-5 in their last 27 games and the Rockies have lost 7 of their last 10.

There is a chance for a closer game than you might think, based on the pitching matchup because of both starters’ recent outings. However, only the Houston Astros have more than the Dodgers’ 32 road wins.

I expected the Dodgers to win, but the -190 line isn’t worth the action unless you include it in a parlay bet. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Of the Dodgers’ 67 wins this season, 59 have been by at least 2 runs. They are 59-41 ATS overall and 29-21 ATS on the road.

The Rockies are 7-5 ATS against the Dodgers this season and have covered the spread in 6 of their last 8 games.

But expect the Dodgers to bounce back from the loss.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-125).

Over/Under

Only 3 of the 12 games between the Dodgers and Rockies have had at last 12 runs. Only 2 of Gonsolin’s starts all season have had 12 or more runs.

Twelve of Marquez’ 19 starts have had 11 or fewer runs and so have 3 of his last 4.

Take UNDER 11.5 (-130).
