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

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.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Diego Padres (91-67) and LA Dodgers (94-64) meet Thursday as they wind up a 3-game series in Chavez Ravine. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 8-4

San Diego and LA have split the 1st 2 games of the series. The Dodgers won Wednesday’s contest, snapping a 5-game Padre win streak. Since Sept. 13, San Diego is 9-2.

Los Angeles heads into Thursday’s game leading the Padres in the NL West by 3 games. The Dodgers are a half-game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for the top seed in the upcoming NL playoffs.

Padres at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Joe Musgrove vs. RHP Walker Buehler

Musgrove (6-5, 3.95 ERA) is making his 19th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 through 93 1/3 IP.

Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 9 K in 3-2 home win vs. Chicago White Sox Friday
Career vs. Dodgers (regular season): 0-7, 4.48 ERA (62 1/3 IP, 31 ER), 1.43 WHIP, 9.0 K/9 in 12 starts

Buehler (1-6, 5.63 ERA) is making his 16th start. He has a 1.58 WHIP, 3.5 BB/9 and 8.1 K/9 through 70 1/3 IP.

Last outing: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 9 K in 6-3 home defeat vs. Colorado Rockies Saturday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Dodgers 3

Moneyline

SAN DIEGO (-105) is 5-2 over its last 7 games at Dodger Stadium.

Musgrove is in excellent form. Over his last 2 starts, he’s held foes scoreless while whiffing 17 batters without issuing a base on balls.

The Friars are an excellent road club (45-31) and are 6-2 across their last 8 away games. Heading into this series, the Padres ranked 5th and 6th, respectively, in road scoring (5.11 runs per game) and run prevention (3.88).

Buehler does not typically get deep into games, and that potentially exposes an LA bullpen which has trended the wrong way this month, at least in its analytic indicator numbers.

BACK PADRES (-105).

Run line/Against the spread

No interest. PASS.

Over/Under

Eight of San Diego’s last 9 games have hit the Under. Across the last 7 San Diego-LA meetings, the Under has gone 5-2.

Look for the starting pitching to be a tad undervalued by surface numbers. TAKE THE UNDER 8.5 (-115).

San Diego Padres at LA Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Diego Padres at LA Dodgers odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The San Diego Padres (91-66) and LA Dodgers (93-64) meet Wednesday as they continue a 3-game NL West series. The start time at Dodger Stadium is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 8-3

San Diego won Tuesday 4-2 as a +107 underdog. The Padres, 9-1 in the last 10 games, closed out the series-opening win in dramatic fashion, turning a 5-4-3 triple-play to retire LA in the home half of the 9th with DH Shohei Ohtani on deck. The win clinched a postseason berth for the Friars, who are now just 2 games behind the NL West-leading Dodgers.

Los Angeles had been 6-2 with a plus-34 run differential over its last 8 games before Tuesday. The Dodgers have lost 2 in a row at home just twice in the 2nd half.

Padres at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Dylan Cease vs. RHP Jack Flaherty

Cease (14-11, 3.42 ERA) is making his 33rd start. He owns a 1.05 WHIP, 3.0 BB/9 and 10.7 K/9 in 184 1/3 innings.

Last outing: Win, 8 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 0 BB, 5 K in 4-0 home shutout vs. Houston Astros Sept. 18
Career vs. Dodgers: 1-1, 1.72 ERA (15 2/3 IP, 3 ER), 1.40 WHIP, 24 K in 3 starts

Flaherty (13-7, 3.10 ERA) is tabbed for his 28th start combined between the Detroit Tigers and Dodgers. He has authored a 1.06 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 10.8 K/9 through 157 innings between the 2 clubs.

Last outing: Win, 6 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 20-4 rout at Miami Marlins Thursday
Career vs. Padres (regular season): 2-1, 4.26 ERA (25 1/3 IP, 12 ER), 1.42 WHIP, 28 K in 5 starts

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

San Diego is 8-2 over its last 10 games against LA.

The Friars are an excellent road club (45-30) and are 6-1 across their last 7 away games. Heading into this series, the Padres ranked 5th and 6th, respectively, in road scoring (5.11 runs per game) and run prevention (3.88).

Wednesday’s pitching matchup is near-level. Looking at recent starts, Cease — who has not allowed a run in his last 2 starts and his last 16 2/3 innings — is a bit more of a green check mark in the mound category.

BACK PADRES (+120).

Run line/Against the spread

No interest. PASS.

Over/Under

Look for both offenses to have just a sliver of an edge in where this one fits compared to expectations. Consider a partial-unit play on OVER 7.5 (-120).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Dodgers (90-62) and Miami Marlins (56-96) meet Thursday for the finale of a 3-game series. First pitch from loanDepot park is set for 4:40 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Marlins odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: LA leads 4-1

LA beat Miami 8-4 Wednesday as a -193 road favorite. The Dodgers led by as many as 6 runs in the 4th inning after a 3B Enrique Hernandez 3-run shot. They remain 3½ games ahead of the 2nd-place San Diego Padres in the NL West.

Marlins LHP Ryan Weathers took the loss as he pitched 4 1/3 innings while allowing 5 earned runs on 8 hits and no walks with 5 K’s. Miami has been eliminated from playoff contention.

Dodgers at Marlins projected starters

RHP Jack Flaherty vs. RHP Edward Cabrera

Flaherty (12-7, 3.04 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 1.05 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 11.0 K/9 through 151 innings.

Last start: Loss, 3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 4 BB, 4 K in 10-1 defeat at Atlanta Braves Saturday
Career vs. Miami: 2-2, 2.55 ERA (24 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 1.22 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 in 4 starts

Dodgers at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Marlins 4

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers will pick up the win as -210 favorites, but this line isn’t worth the risk. Bet the spread and/or O/U instead.

Run line/Against the spread

LEAN DODGERS -1.5 (-135).

The Dodgers’ last 7 wins vs. Miami have been by 2 or more runs. LA is also 7-3 in the last 10 meetings, so as long as you expect the Dodgers to win, you should also consider backing them ATS.

This is a lean because the Marlins are 3-1 in the last 4 meetings in Miami.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-115).

The Over has hit in each of LA’s last 5 games and is 8-2 in its last 10. For Miami, the Over is 5-0 in its last 5 home games.

The Over has also hit in each of the last 5 meetings in Miami and is 7-3 in the last 10 overall.

Miami’s win in the opener snapped a 3-game losing streak. They have lost 6 of their last 8 games and are in last place in the NL East.

Dodgers at Marlins projected starters

RHP Landon Knack vs. LHP Ryan Weathers

Knack (2-4, 3.70 ERA) makes his 11th start and 13th appearance. He has a 1.09 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 56 innings.

Dodgers at Marlins picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Marlins 3

Moneyline

Despite the Marlins’ 11-run explosion Tuesday, they have scored 3 or fewer runs in 7 of their last 10 games.

The Dodgers (-185) have scored 9 runs in 3 straight games and at least 9 in 4 of their last 6.

Expect the LA offense to continue to score runs and for a normalization of the Marlins offense.

But in terms of -185 odds, those aren’t worth the action.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Fifteen of the Dodgers’ last 16 wins have been by 2 or more runs. They are 24-27 ATS following a loss.

Miami is 25-30 ATS after a loss. In its last 31 games, it has won consecutive games only twice. Nine of its last 11 losses have been by 2 or more runs.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Seven of the Dodgers’ last 8 games have had 9 or more total runs. Six of the last 7 meetings between these teams have had 9 or more runs.

BET OVER 8.5 (-120).

The Atlanta Braves (81-68) welcome the LA Dodgers (88-61) to Truist Park for the finale of their 4-game series. First pitch is set for 7:20 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 4-2

The Braves won the 1st 2 games of the series, beating the Dodgers 6-2 Friday and 10-1 Saturday. They lost 9-2 Sunday though, closing as a +102 underdog.

Atlanta has won 3 of its last 5 games and sits 3rd in the NL East. It is 42-32 at home this season and 69-80 against the spread (ATS). The Braves are 5-5 over their last 10.

The Dodgers are 2-4 over their last 6 games and lost 2 of 3 to the Chicago Cubs in the series prior. Los Angeles is 40-34 on the road and 74-75 ATS.

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. LHP Max Fried

Yamamoto (6-2, 2.77 ERA) makes his 16th career start. He has a 1.05 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 10.6 K/9 in 78 IP.

Last start: No-decision, 4 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 8 K in 6-3 home loss to the Chicago Cubs Tuesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Braves 2

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (-120).

The Braves haven’t performed well with Fried on the mound over the last few weeks. They are 2-4 in his last 6 starts and have allowed at least 5 runs in 2 of his last 4 starts. Atlanta, in its last series against a team of the Dodgers caliber, lost 3 of 4 on the road to the Philadelphia Phillies, so it has struggled to consistently beat top teams as well.

The Dodgers are 5-3 over their last 8 road games and have found their offense again, having scored at least 9 in 2 of their last 4. Expect LA to stay hot and take DODGERS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no great value here. The Dodgers are too risky to play as a run-line favorite while the Braves are far too expensive to take as a run-line underdog. Avoid this play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (+100).

The Braves are 4-10 O/U in their last 14 games and have scored 3 of fewer runs in 8 of those 14 games. They have also allowed 3 or fewer runs in 11 of those 14. Atlanta is 56-88-5 O/U.

The Dodgers are 80-65-4 O/U, yet are 1-2 O/U in Yamamoto’s last 3 starts. Considering the Braves trends and the pitching quality starting on the mound, take UNDER 7.5 (+100).

LA Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at Atlanta Braves odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The LA Dodgers (87-61) take on the Atlanta Braves (81-67) on Sunday Night Baseball in the 3rd game of a 4-game set at Truist Park at 7:10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Dodgers vs. Braves odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 3-2

The Dodgers have dropped the first 2 games of the series, including a laugher 10-1 Saturday. The Braves lit up RHP Jack Flaherty for 4 ER over 3 IP and poured on 6 more on the bullpen. OF Mookie Betts had a hit and the only RBI in the game. The Dodgers have dropped 4 of 5 and sit 3½ games up on the San Diego Padres.

The Braves have scored 6+ runs in 3 of 4 games and 29 runs over that stretch. 1B Matt Olson is ablaze right now. He went 2-for-5 with 4 RBIs Saturday and has 7 RBIs over a 5-game hitting streak. The Braves hold the last Wild Card spot with the New York Mets right on their heels.

Dodgers at Braves projected starters

RHP Walker Buehler vs. RHP Charlie Morton

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Braves 6, Dodgers 4

Moneyline

Plain and simple, Buehler has not been good since his return from Tommy John surgery. He’s 0-2 with a 6.97 ERA in his last 7 starts. The Braves’ bats are hot, and I look for it to continue.

Take the BRAVES -115.

Run line/Against the spread

Let’s zone in on SS Orlando Arcia here. He went 1-for-3 with 3 RBIs Saturday and has hit Buehler very well. He’s 6-for-11 with a double and 2 homers lifetime against him. Take ORLANDO ARCIA OVER 1.5 H+R+RBIs (+100).

Over/Under

It’s slated to be 76 degrees with a 14-mph wind blowing left to right. The Over narrowly missed Friday and sailed past the finish line Saturday. With Buehler allowing so many runs, I like the OVER 9 (+100).

Flaherty (12-6, 2.86 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.01 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 10.9 K/9 through 148 innings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Dodgers at Braves picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Braves 3

Moneyline

BET DODGERS (+110).

The Dodgers are the 2nd-best team in the majors following a loss at 36-23. They brought in Flaherty to be a capable postseason starter, and he delivered in his last start, going 7-plus innings and not allowing a run. He should be able to stay at that level Saturday.

While Sale has been terrific, the Braves haven’t been consistent enough to back. They scored 0 runs Monday then 12 Tuesday and 1 Wednesday. Expect them to come up short as they have been after winning the game prior.

Take DODGERS (+110).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

There’s no good value here. The Dodgers are far too expensive as a run-line underdog, and the Braves are too risky as a run-line favorite with how well Flaherty has pitched as of late.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-105).

The Braves have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games and are 2-10 O/U in their last 12. They’ve gone Under in Sale’s last 4 starts and are 54-88-5 O/U on the season.

The Dodgers have been inconsistent offensively as of late. They’ve scored 4 or fewer in 4 of their last 5 games. Los Angeles is 3-3-1 O/U in its last 7. It has gone Under in 2 of Flaherty’s last 3 starts.

Given the caliber of pitching on display, take UNDER 7.5 (-105).

Cubs at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Cubs 4

Moneyline

The Dodgers have not been swept in a series at home all season, although the Cubs have won 8 straight road games.

Even still, with the 8 consecutive road victories, the Cubs are only .500 away from Wrigley at 37-37, while the Dodgers are 21 games over .500 at Dodger Stadium at 47-26.

The Dodgers should bounce back but at the -175 price, that’s not the best bet you can make in terms of value.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Twelve of the Dodgers’ last 13 wins have been by multiple runs.

The Cubs’ last 6 losses have been by multiple runs. While they have been hot recently, the Cubs are 30-44 ATS after a win, per Teamrankings.com, the worst mark in the majors.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+120).

Over/Under

Four of the 5 games between the teams this season have had 9 or more runs.

Eight of Miller’s 11 starts have had 9 or more runs.

BET OVER 9 (+100).
