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 and predictions.

The Colorado Rockies (65-92) face the Los Angeles Dodgers (109-48) Saturday in the 2nd game of a rare 6-game set at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is set for 9:10 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 9-5

The Rockies were blown out of the water 10-1 Friday night and have 1 win in their last 11 games. This one figures to be another dosage of pain as the Dodgers continue to mash without incentive as they’ve long locked up home-field advantage.

The Dodgers are 6-4 and 15-5 over the last 10 and 20 games, respectively. Treat this series with caution. The Dodgers will be heavy favorites throughout, and they have no reason to do more than coast. L.A. is 30-16 against lefties, which it’ll face today.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 3

Moneyline

You couldn’t pay me to bet on this moneyline with the Dodgers devoid of incentive. What I will do, though, is bet on the Dodgers to score 5 runs. They have done so 3 out of the last 4 times they played the Rockies at Dodger Stadium. Freeland has allowed the Dodgers at least 3 in all 4 starts this year. They’ll get another 2 off the bullpen.

Take the DODGERS OVER 4.5 TOTAL RUNS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers should win by more than 2, but again, there’s that whole “they don’t have to show up” fear. Do you know who has shown up against the Dodgers? Freeland.

He’s not a strikeout guy, but he has whiffed a Dodger per inning this season. He has 22 Ks in 21 1/3 innings. We’re asking for 5 today, and if he can stay in the game long enough, FREELAND OVER 4.5 K’S (+125) makes sense.

Over/Under

The Rockies are 5-5 O/U, and the Dodgers are strangely 3-7 over the last 10. The Rockies have scored just 27 runs over the last 10, and 6 of those were at Coors Field!

I’m staying away and hoping to cash the first 2.

PASS.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

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

The Colorado Rockies (35-46) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (51-29) wrap up a 3-game series Wednesday at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Season series tied 4-4

The Rockies had plenty of success hosting the Dodgers, but they’ve lost the first 2 games of this series in Los Angeles.

The Dodgers have outscored the Rockies by a 10-5 count, with the Under going 1-0-1 in the first 2 games in this series. The Under is 8-2-2 in the past 12 games overall for Los Angeles.

Rockies at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Jose Urena vs. RHP Mitch White

Urena (0-0, 3.52 ERA) makes his 1st start, and 5th overall appearance. He has a 1.57 WHIP, 5.9 BB/9 and 3.5 K/9 in 7 2/3 IP.

  • Returns to the majors for the 1st time since April 26, when he allowed 3 R (1 ER), 4 H in 2 1/3 IP of relief.
  • Makes 1st start since Aug. 28, 2021, against the Toronto Blue Jays when he was a member of the Milwaukee Brewers.

White (1-1, 3.93 ERA) makes his 7th start and 12th overall appearance. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.9 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 34 1/3 IP.

  • Allowed 1 ER and 2 H in 3 2/3 IP in his 1st relief appearance of the season at Colorado on April 10.
  • Is 1-1 with a 5.02 ERA and 18 K in 14 1/3 IP in 2 starts and 3 relief appearances at home.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Rockies 2

Money line

The Dodgers (-380) will cost more than 3 1/2 times your potential return, and there is never any way to justify that kind of risk for such a small reward.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -2.5 (-120) are risky business on the run line, but Los Angeles covered the big inflated line in Tuesday’s game, edging the Rockies +2.5 (+100) by a 5-2 count. Don’t go crazy risking big money, but L.A. is worth a small-unit play.

Over/Under

The UNDER 9.5 (-122) is the lean here. If the game were in Denver it would be a different story. However, the Under is the play here, going 8-2-2 in the past 12 games overall.

And if you needed further proof the Under is the play, the Rockies have managed 3 or fewer runs in 6 consecutive road games, averaging just 1.8 runs per game during the unimpressive span. The Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 road outings for Colorado.

Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Rockies 4

Money line

The Dodgers (-300) will cost you 3 times your potential return, and that’s just too risky. Plus, the Rockies (+230) actually have a winning record in 6 meetings this season against them.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -2.5 (+105) are a little more reasonably priced on the run line, but it’ll be close now that the Dodgers have to win by 3. While Los Angeles has shockingly struggled against the Rockies +2.5 (-130) this season, all of the previous meetings have been at Coors Field in Denver. The Dodgers will handle their business at home against the Rox. LEAN DODGERS -2.5 (+105).

Over/Under

The OVER 8.5 (-110) has been a frequent happening for the Rockies lately, going 3-0-2 in the past 5 games overall, while also going 3-0-2 in the past 5 inside the division.

While the Under has dominated for the Dodgers lately and has cashed in 5 straight meetings in L.A., the Over is 4-1-1 in the past 6 for the Dodgers against losing teams. The Over is also 6-2 in the past 8 games at home against southpaws.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (59-70) try to pick up a rare road series win in their finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers (82-48) Sunday afternoon. First pitch is at 4:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium. Let’s analyze the lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Rockies RHP Antonio Senzatela (2-9, 4.42 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 6.3 K/9 through 118 IP.

  • Senzatela has a 7.48 career ERA in seven appearances at Dodger Stadium, including six starts. Only two pitchers in major league history with at least five starts there have had a higher ERA.

  • Despite this being the 16th game of the year between the Rockies and Dodgers, it is White’s first appearance against them.

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and prediction

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

Their loss Friday was only the Dodgers’ third in their last 19 games. They are rolling. They have not lost consecutive games since dropping two in a row to the San Francisco Giants July 29-30.

Only six of the Dodgers’ last 20 games have finished with nine total runs or more.

Only two of the seven games between the two teams in Los Angeles have finished with nine or more total runs.

Take UNDER 8.5 (+100).

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (58-69) open a three-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers (81-47) Friday. First pitch from Dodger Stadium is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Rockies LHP Kyle Freeland (4-6, 4.25 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.38 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 through 84 2/3 IP.

  • Allowed 4 ER on 11 H and 0 BB with 10 K over 13 IP across two second-half starts against the Dodgers.
  • Allowed 4 ER just once over his last 11 starts while recording a 2.53 ERA. Lowered his ERA from 7.76 to 4.25 during that span.

The Dodgers have yet to name a starter for their bullpen day but it appears RHP Andre Jackson (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will handle the bulk of the action. He allowed 2 H and 4 BB with 5 K over 4 IP in his lone game this season.

  • Pitched innings 2-5 Aug. 16 against the Pittsburgh Pirates in his first big league appearance.
  • Is 5-2 with a 3.16 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 2.7 B/9 and 10.1 K/9 through 77 IP of Single-, Double- and Triple-A ball.

Prediction

Los Angeles 4, Colorado 2

Money line (ML)

The Rockies’ struggles on the road have plagued them all season as they now possess sole ownership of the worst road record in the league at 15-47.

The stats back that record up. Colorado is last in wRC+, wOBA and OPS on the road. The Rockies are second-last in runs per game on the road with 3.19.

The Dodgers don’t hit lefties particularly well despite their 24-13 record against southpaw starters. I’m not particularly concerned for the outcome of this one but the odds are simply too steep to make it a wise bet.

PASS on the money line as a standalone wager.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

While we can expect a heavy dose of the Dodgers bullpen Friday that’s not such a bad thing. L.A.’s relief corps is a top-five unit in the second half of the season in ERA, FIP and xFIP.

The concern Friday is whether Los Angeles can get anything done against a left-handed pitcher but we’re going to side with the Dodgers producing enough runs to overcome Colorado’s dismal road output.

BET the DODGERS -1.5 (-115)

Over/Under (O/U)

When considering the Dodgers’ general struggles against lefties, Freeland’s previous games vs. L.A. in the second half, and the Rockies’ poor offensive numbers on the road all signs point to the Under.

These two clubs have met six times at Dodger Stadium and four of those games resulted in 8 or fewer runs with Colorado averaging 3 runs per game.

I’ve got a LEAN to the UNDER 8.5 (-105)

Money line (ML)

The Rockies still have the worst road record in baseball this season at 10-35 and lost Saturday, but they had won four of their previous five road games. They are 1-4 this year at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers are 32-18 at home but only 2-4 in this homestand. However, in the series finale, even with a rookie making his first major league start, I like the home team. Colorado’s Gray is steady but even he allowed 3 runs in 4 innings in his one start at Dodger Stadium.

Take the DODGERS (-190).

Prediction

Dodgers 7, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

The Rockies have the second-worst road record in baseball at 10-34 but have won their last three road games and four of their last five.

The Dodgers are only 1-4 on their current homestand and have lost three straight games. Even still, they are 31-18 at home.

So would it be a smart bet to ride the Rockies one more time? I wouldn’t do it. Go against the recent trends and stick with the season-long numbers.

Take the DODGERS (-250).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Rockies are 50-47 ATS overall this year but still have the worst road cover percentage in all of baseball at 38.6%, and that is while going 4-1 ATS in their last five road games.

The Dodgers are 48-51 ATS overall and 25-24 ATS at Dodger Stadium; however, their last 11 wins were all by at least 2 runs.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-115).

Over/Under (O/U)

Each of the Rockies’ last six games finished with a total of 9 or more runs. Just over half of all games at Dodger Stadium went over the projected total.

Seven of 10 games between the two teams this season finished with 9 or more runs.

Take OVER 8.5 (-105).

Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and prediction

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

The Colorado Rockies (42-54) stop by Dodger Stadium Friday to start a three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers (59-39) at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Rockies vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-2.

RHP Chi Chi Gonzalez takes the hill for the Rockies. He is 3-6 with a 5.99 ERA (85 2/3 IP, 57 ER), 1.47 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 5.1 K/9 over 14 starts and four relief appearances.

  • Last outing: Loss, 10-4, with 4 IP, 7 ER, 9 H, 2 BB and 2 K last Friday against the Dodgers.
  • vs. Dodgers on the current roster (95 PA): 4.97 FIP with a .224 batting average (BA), .308 wOBA, .527 expected slugging percentage (xSLG), 12.6 K% and 88.1 mph exit velocity (EV) in 95 plate appearances.

LHP David Price is L.A.’s projected starter. He is 4-0 with a 3.12 ERA (34 2/3 IP, 12 ER), 1.56 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 over five starts and 20 relief appearances.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 4 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 BB and 4 K in L.A.’s 6-5 loss at Colorado Sunday.
  • Price has appeared in four games against the Rockies this season (one start) and is 0-0 with 3 ER, 9 H, 1 BB and 10 K over 7 2/3 IP.
    • vs. Rockies on the current roster (60 PA): 4.99 FIP with a .288 BA, .356 wOBA, .544 xSLG, 25.0 K% and 89.3 mph EV.

  • Money line: Rockies +225 (bet $100 to win $225) | Dodgers -275 (bet $275 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Rockies +2.5 (-125) | Dodgers -2.5 (+105)
  • Over/Under: 8.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Rockies 3

Money line (ML)

PASS because this is more than I’m willing to spend for an outright L.A. victory even though the Dodgers are obviously the correct side.

Furthermore, Colorado is 15-13 against left-handed starters this season and Price’s pitching peripherals against this Rockies lineup are almost identical to Gonzalez’s against L.A.’s.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Slight “LEAN” to the ROCKIES +2.5 (-125) for a tiny wager as a “contrarian play” against a market that’s barreling into L.A.’s run line for obvious reasons.

However, this could be a bit of a “let down” spot for the Dodgers who just lost three of four games in a pivotal series against the first-place San Franciso Giants. L.A.’s bullpen gave up 4 runs in the top of the ninth inning in a 5-3 loss Thursday.

That said, Gonzalez gave up 5 first-inning runs in his last start against the Dodgers and there’s really nothing Colorado does better than L.A.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 8.5 (+100) for a half unit because if the Rockies are going to cover the spread, the most foreseeable path to Colorado keeping this one close would be a low-scoring affair.

Also, the Rockies lineup is by far the least productive crew on the road. Colorado’s 60 wRC+ on the road is 18 points below the second-lowest mark in the majors.

More importantly, we are getting some “reverse line movement” in the betting market as nearly 85% of the cash wagered has been on the Over, according to Pregame.com, but the 9-run opening total has been steamed down.
