Why bet on the Colorado Rockies?

The Rockies are dead last in the NL West division. They hold a 35-44 overall record and have a poor 12-23 road record. Although they previously grabbed a 2-1 series win over the Diamondbacks, the team needs to step up if they want to put pressure on a stellar Dodgers squad.

German Marquez takes the mound on game night. The 27-year-old pitcher enters with a 4-6 record this season, and a 5.89 ERA with 70 strikeouts. He boasts a lengthy portfolio against the Dodgers, which features a .265 batting average and .358 on-base percentage in 50 hits. Additionally, his recent numbers look solid as he records five wins in six appearances. In June, Marquez averaged a 5.29 ERA in 34.0 innings pitched.

Despite not having the most consistent pitching staff in the league, the Rockies can capitalize on decent hitting statistics this season. The team records 363 runs in 718 hots, with a .261 batting average and .325 on-base percentage. These numbers are good for a tenth-best record in the MLB this season.

Why bet on the Los Angeles Dodgers?

Meanwhile, the Dodgers top the NL West division at 49-29, ahead of the San Diego Padres by two wins. Los Angeles carries a robust 23-13 road record and an impressive 26-16 record on the road. It’s safe to say that they perform well in uncharted territory as they do at home. With the raging Dodgers fans by their side in this series, it’s safe to say that the team remains composed in all three games.

Mitch White gets more exposure this season as he starts for the Dodgers. He currently sits on a 1-1 record with a 3.93 ERA and 33 strikeouts. Against the Rockies, he records a career .267 batting average and .253 on-base percentage. However, White’s June performance needs more work as he records three defeats in four appearances with a 3.38 ERA in 18.2 innings pitched.

The LA Dodgers top the league’s hitting statistics with 398 runs in 676 hits with 100 home runs. They also produced 377 runs batted in to go with a .252 batting average and .329 on-base percentage.
