Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Preview
The Colorado Rockies (3-12) will face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers (11-6) in Game 1 of their three-game series on Monday, April 14 at 10:10 PM ET at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The Dodgers are moderate favorites to find success, with a moneyline at -360 at MyBookie.
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview
The Rockies lost their last three games and have not looked appealing to say the least. In all three of their battles against the San Diego Padres recently, they failed to score a run at all. Their last loss was a 6-0 battle to cap off an embarrassing series.
Brenton Doyle currently leads them with 12 RBIs and three home runs so far. Their best performer at the plate has been Kyle Farmer, who leads with a batting average at .375 and ranks fourth overall in the league. Doyle has been ruled out for this upcoming matchup due to his quad.
Colorado is putting up a .226 batting average and allowing their opponents to get .282 in return. This does not bode well for their chances at success if their opponents are getting much better opportunities at the plate each game.
The Rockies have an on base percentage at .203 and an ERA at 4.91. Antonio Senzatela (0-2) will get the start on the mound and has an ERA at 5.14 and a WHIP at 2.14. This could mean they will have a tough start on the defensive end.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
The Dodgers are having a tough time staying on a positive path, as they have lost their last two games and are 2-3 in their last five games. Their recent loss was a 4-2 battle against the Chicago Cubs.
Mookie Betts is their leading offensive player with a .288 batting average and an appealing .383 on base percentage along with a .481 slugging percentage. Other than the batting average, the other two averages are on par with Farmer from the Rockies.
Los Angeles is also batting around .226, but they are holding their opponents to .219. This is much more appealing than what the Rockies put forth and it should make an impact in this series.
The Dodgers have a slightly better on base percentage and ERA at .306 and 3.83, respectively, over the Rockies. Dustin May (0-1) is starting on the mound and has exciting numbers so far with an ERA of 0.82 and a WHIP at 0.91.
