Colorado Rockies at LA Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (60-95) and the LA Dodgers (92-63) wrap up a 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 6-3

The Rockies doubled up the Dodgers 6-3 on Saturday behind RHP Cal Quantrill, pushing against the total (9) at most shops. The pesky Rockies are 6-3 across the past 9 games, as they’re not going quietly into the night. The Over is 2-0-1 in the past 3 games, and 6-4-1 across the past 11 outings.

Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela made his season debut Monday after a 16-month layoff due to Tommy John surgery.

The Dodgers offense has been on fire in the past 7 games, averaging 9.2 runs per game (RPG). It’s no surprise that the Over is 7-0-1 in the past 8 games, and 10-1-1 across the previous 12 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward straight up.

Yamamoto has just 2 starts under his belt since returning from a 3-month absence due to a right rotator cuff strain.

PASS, as even including L.A. in a multi-leg parlay isn’t a recommended option.

Run line/Against the spread

The ROCKIES +2.5 (-115) are worth a look catching the runs. Colorado has been pesky down the stretch as we head to the final week.

The Dodgers -2.5 (-105) are a risk, as Yamamoto has just 8 IP under his belt in 2 starts since returning from injury. Both he and Senzatela aren’t likely to go very deep into the game.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.

We’re going with the trends for the Dodgers here, as the Over is 8-0-1 in the past 9 games, and 11-1-1 in the previous 13 contests.

The Over is 2-0-1 in the past 3 for the Rockies, while going 4-1-1 in the past 6 meetings with the Dodgers.

Colorado Rockies at LA Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (59-94) take on the LA Dodgers (91-62) Friday in the opener of a 3-game set at Dodger Stadium at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 5-2

The Rockies had a 4-2 homestand but dropped Wednesday’s affair 9-4 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Fairly unknown outside of fantasy baseball circles, SS Ezequiel Tovar is in the midst of a breakout year with a .266 BA, 25 homers and 72 RBIs.

The Dodgers had some fun at the Miami Marlins’ expense with a 20-4 victory Thursday. DH Shohei Ohtani went 6-for-6 with 3 homers, 10 RBIs and 2 stolen bases in a holy bleep moment. He became baseball’s first player to have 50 homers and 50 steals in a single season.

Rockies at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Kyle Freeland vs. TBD

Freeland (5-7, 4.89 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.38 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 through 103 innings.

Last start: No-decision, 7 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 3 K in 6-5 home win in 10 innings vs. Chicago Cubs Saturday
Last 5 starts vs. Dodgers: 1-2, 5.93 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 27 K in 27 1/3 IP

The Dodgers have not announced a starter and could go with a bullpen game as RHP Walker Buehler was pushed back to Saturday

Bullpen is 8th in MLB with 3.66 ERA

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Rockies 4

Moneyline

There is no play here. Could there be some kind of hangover effect after the Dodgers scored 20? Sure. However, I haven’t had enough adult beverages to recommend playing Colorado here.

Run line/Against the spread

BetMGM has a BOOSTED proposition for Ohtani to hit a homer or steal a base at +175. Ohtani is 2-for-3 with a homer lifetime against Freeland.

Take SHOHEI OHTANI 1+ HOME RUNS OR 1+ STOLEN BASES (+175).

Over/Under

It’s slated to be a 67-degree evening with a 9-mph gust blowing out to straightaway center. The Under is actually 4-3 in this matchup this season, but with the wind blowing out and the Dodgers’ bats ablaze, take the OVER 9 (-120).

The Rockies, who are 5th in the NL West, have won 4 of their last 6 games and are 6-4 straight up over their last 10. They have scored at least 7 runs in 3 of their last 5 games.

Rockies at Dodgers projected starters

Moneyline (ML): Rockies +240 (bet $100 to win $240) | Dodgers -295 (bet $295 to win $100)
Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Rockies +1.5 (+114) | Dodgers -1.5 (-137)
Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -118 | U: -104)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Rockies 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Dodgers are one of the best teams in the MLB and rightfully a hefty home favorite. They are unplayable at -295, and the Rockies (+240) aren’t worth the gamble on the moneyline either.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ROCKIES +1.5 (+114).

The Rockies are 7-3 ATS over their last 10 games and are 30-25 ATS on the season. They have won 3 straight Gomber starts and have covered in his last 4 appearances.

The Dodgers are 14-16 ATS as a home favorite and are 17-19 ATS following a win. Los Angeles is 1-3 straight up and ATS over its last 4 games at home as well.

Considering those trends, back ROCKIES +1.5 (+114).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-104).

Both teams have strong options to start the game, and the 1st 2 games of this series have each had a total of 5 runs scored. The Rockies have gone Under in 5 of their last 10 and are 4-5-1 O/U in that span.

The Dodgers favor the Under much more frequently as of late, and they are 1-5 O/U in their last 6 games. Los Angeles has scored 3 or fewer in 4 of its last 7 and has allowed 4 or fewer in 7 straight.

Back UNDER 8.5 (-104).

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Colorado Rockies (21-35) and Los Angeles Dodgers (36-23) play the 2nd game of their 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is slated for 10:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Rockies lead 1-0

The Rockies took the series opener 4-1 in Los Angeles Friday. Starting RHP Dakota Hudson was lights out, allowing just 1 ER over 7 innings of work. SS Ezequiel Tovar was the star of the night offensively with 3 hits, including his 8th home run of the season in the 4th inning. Colorado has won 4 of its last 5 games.

Los Angeles had its 3-game win streak snapped Friday, only managing 1 run on 5 hits. Dodgers 2B Gavin Lux scored L.A.’s sole run in the 8th inning when SS Mookie Betts grounded into a double play with the bases loaded. RHP Walker Buehler was knocked around for 4 runs (3 ER) on 6 hits but did strike out 7 over 6 innings.

Rockies at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Cal Quantrill vs. RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Quantrill (4-3, 3.53 ERA) makes his 10th start. He has a 1.21 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 6.9 K/9 in 63 1/3 IP.

Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 5 K in 5-2 home victory over Philadelphia Phillies Sunday
Finished 4-0 in May over 5 starts
Career vs Dodgers: 1-3, 7.79 ERA (17 1/3 IP, 15 ER), 26 H, 4 BB, 11 K in 4 games — last faced them in 2022

Yamamoto (5-2, 3.51 ERA) makes his 12th start. The rookie has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 10.5 K/9 in 59 IP.

Over/Under (O/U): 7.5 (O: -102 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Rockies 1

Moneyline.

PASS.

Yamamoto will get a bounce-back victory Saturday after losing to the Reds Sunday, but I’m not going to bet the Dodgers’ (-320) moneyline. It’s just never a good bet to put up more than 3 units to win 1. I’ll keep my wager to the total.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

As much as I would like to take the Dodgers -1.5 (-137), I just don’t like to pay that kind of juice. I’ll put my wager on the total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-120).

The Under has hit in 4 of the last 5 Dodgers games, including the series opener. Yamamoto didn’t allow more than 2 ER in either of his May home starts. Quantrill hasn’t allowed more than 2 ER in his last 5 starts.

Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Dodgers won 2023 series 10-3

The Rockies just finished a 4-2 homestand, taking 2 out of 3 in both series they played, against the Philadelphia Phillies and Cleveland Guardians. They are coming off an off day after closing out the series against the Guardians with a 7-4 win.

The Dodgers were also off on Thursday and are coming off a 3-game series sweep on the road over the New York Mets, winning the finale 10-3. That came on the heels of a 5-game losing streak.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers are 19-11 at home, while the Rockies are 7-21 on the road, the 2nd-worst road mark in all of baseball.

The Rockies have not won in Dodger Stadium since 2022. They have lost 5 of their last 6 on the road and are 2-8 when Hudson starts.

Don’t expect a Rockies upset, but at -350, betting the Dodgers doesn’t win enough money to make it worth a single bet.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

In the Dodgers’ 10 wins over the Rockies last season, they won by 3 or more runs 9 times.

Five of the Rockies’ last 7 losses have been by 3 or more runs while 5 of the Dodgers’ last 7 wins and each of their last 3 have been by 3 or more runs.

BET DODGERS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Two of Hudson’s last 3 starts have had totals of at least 9 runs. Seven of the 13 Rockies-Dodgers meetings last season had 9 or more total runs.

The Rockies have allowed 5 or more runs in 5 of their last 9 games while the Dodgers are coming off a series in which they scored 5 or more twice.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Rockies 2

Moneyline

Los Angeles (-375) should win for the 9th time in 10 games, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Dodgers should win by margin.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

While Colorado is a respectable 5-5 in its last 10 games, it has been getting blown out in its losses. Six of the Rockies’ last 7 losses have been by 3 or more runs.

Los Angeles is 18-13 on the run line this season in divisional matchups, while Colorado is just 11-17.

LEAN DODGERS -2.5 (-115).

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

Over/Under

Blach has struggled on the road this season, but he’s facing a Dodgers team that has cooled down offensively. Los Angeles has scored 5 or fewer runs in back-to-back contests after averaging 8.4 over the previous 7 games. The Under is 36-23 (61%) this season when Colorado is a road underdog and I like its chances to hit again Thursday.

BET UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado Rockies (2-3) and Los Angeles Dodgers (3-2) wrap up a 2-game series Tuesday. First pitch at Dodger Stadium is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers won the season series opener 13-4 on Monday. Dodgers won the season series 11-8 in 2022.

The Rockies held a 4-2 lead in the middle of the 5th inning Monday, but starting RHP Ryan Feltner and reliever RHP Jake Bird fell apart in a disastrous frame for the visitors by allowing 7 ER. Colorado was unable to recover.

The Dodgers have scored 8 or more runs in each of their 3 victories but scored 1 run apiece in each of their 2 setbacks. The Over and Under has alternated in each of those 5 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Rockies at Dodgers projected starters

RHP German Marquez vs. LHP Julio Urias

Marquez makes his 2nd start of the season. He allowed 2 ER on 5 H and 0 BB with 5 K across 6 IP in a win at the San Diego Padres on Opening Day Thursday.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Rockies 2

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive for a singular wager.

The Dodgers rolled to a win last night, and face a Rockies team in a battle of Opening Day starters. Advantage Los Angeles, but PASS, and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (-120) are a strong play on the run line. Los Angeles picked up a 13-4 win in Monday’s series opener but it shouldn’t be nearly as lopsided Tuesday. However, the Rockies are likely to have trouble picking up runs against Urias, too. Look for a lower-scoring game that still goes well in favor of the home side.

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (-115) is the lean in a battle between Opening Day starters.

While the Dodgers took care of the Over themselves on Monday, the Under is still 4-1 in the past 5 meetings between these clubs in Los Angeles and is 18-8-2 in the past 28 meetings overall between these NL West Division rivals.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado Rockies (2-2) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2-2) open a 2-game series Monday night. First pitch at Dodger Stadium is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Dodgers won the season series 11-8 in 2022.

The Rockies picked up a 7-2 win at the San Diego Padres on Opening Day and followed that up with a 4-1 win Friday. However, the Padres were able to scratch back to salvage a 4-game series split by handing Colorado losses on Saturday (8-4) and Sunday (3-1).

The Dodgers won a pair of high-scoring games against the Arizona Diamondbacks to start the season, including an 8-2 win on Opening Day Thursday and a 10-1 victory Saturday. However, L.A. split the set as it lost a pair of 2-1 games on Friday and Sunday.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Rockies 4

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-250) had a hard time with the Rockies (+195) in 2022, and they turn to their 5th starter Grove to try and snap the team on track here.

Risking 2 1/2 times your potential return is quite expensive in this case and it’s best to AVOID and look to the run line instead.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (-120) are a better play on the run line.

The Rockies are still just 6-15 in the past 21 games against NL West teams despite a pair of wins to start the season in San Diego.

Meanwhile, the Dodgers have won 56 of the past 78 meetings at Chavez Ravine against the Rox and are 51-21 in the past 72 meetings overall.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is the lean with a pair of back-end rotation pitchers toeing the slab.

We’ll be going against the series trends a bit, as the Under was 12-5-2 in the 19 meetings last season, including 6-2-1 in the 9 battles at Dodger Stadium.

However, with unproven starters Feltner and Grove squaring off, we could see some offensive fireworks.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 3, Rockies 2

Moneyline

PASS.

Los Angeles (-410) ML is too high of a price to pay for a team that has lost 2 consecutive games as a huge favorite.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ROCKIES +2.5 (-117).

This line is a bit inflated due to Urías being on the mound. The Dodgers shouldn’t be favored to win by 2.5 runs when they have scored just a combined 2 runs in its last 2 games.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 7.5 (-103).

The Under is 9-2-1 in these teams’ last 12 head-to-head meetings in Los Angeles. Urías’ dominance on the mound coupled with Los Angeles’ disappointing offense as of late should help the Under hit Tuesday.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado Rockies (65-93) face the Los Angeles Dodgers (110-48) Sunday in the 3rd game of a rare 6-game set at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 10-5

The Rockies got out to a 4-1 lead Saturday to give everyone that fell into the Dodgers’ trap a scare, but they ultimately folded 6-4. Colorado has 1 win in its last 10 and just 6 in its last 20.

The Dodgers are a dangerous team to bet on because they have nothing to play for as they long ago clinched home-field advantage. They made it interesting Saturday, but our 2 picks ultimately cashed.
