The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Colorado Rockies meet in an NL West division matchup in MLB action from Coors Field on Thursday. Let’s dive into the odds, starting pitching matchup, history and make a prediction for this game.
Odds
The Dodgers are listed as -200 road favorites while the Rockies are +170 home underdogs. The total for this game is set at 12.5 runs.
Starting Pitching Matchup
Emmet Sheehan will start for the Dodgers and is 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 7 strikeouts this season. Chase Anderson will start for the Rockies and is 0-2 with a 5.79 ERA and 28 strikeouts this season.
Matchup History
Colorado’s 9-8 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday snapped Los Angeles’ four-game win streak in this head-to-head matchup.
Trends
Los Angeles is 84-40 in their last 124 division games and 44-15 in their last 59 Thursday games while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 road games against a team with a right-handed starter. Colorado is 3-7 in their last 10 home games and 8-20 in their last 28 games overall while the under is 7-1 in their last 8 game three matchups.
Pick
I’m on the Dodgers -1.5 here. I get why plus money with the Rockies would be tempting after Wednesday’s matchup, but the issue here is that Chase Anderson’s been dreadful in his last couple of starts and I think the Dodgers can get to him and make it another short start for the Rockies’ righty. Emmet Sheehan’s looked good in his first couple of outings and I think the Dodgers back him up and get a comfortable win on the -1.5 run line.
