Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction 6/26/25 MLB Picks Today

In this article, we will formulate a Rockies vs Dodgers prediction for this MLB game on Thursday, June 26, at Coors Field in Denver, Colorado. Let’s take a look at the prediction for this MLB matchup.

Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers (50-31, 20-17 Away) won four straight series in a row after defeating the Padres, Giants, Padres again, and Nationals. They will add one more following a pair of victories against the Colorado Rockies in the current series. Los Angeles had some problems in Game 1, but got to an easy 8-1 W on Wednesday. Max Muncy blasted a grand slam in the 7th inning and led his team with six RBI, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto got the win after allowing no runs on one hit with six strikeouts and one walk across 5.0 innings of work.

This year, the Dodgers average 5.67 runs per game (1st in the MLB) on a .265/.340/.462 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Dodgers’ staff has a 4.24 ERA (23rd) and 1.32 WHIP (20th). Andy Pages leads the Dodgers with a .297 batting average, 16 home runs, and 54 RBI this season.

The projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers is Clayton Kershaw, who is 3-0 in seven starts this season, with a 3.31 ERA and 1.32 WHIP in 32.2 innings.

Colorado Rockies Betting Preview

The Colorado Rockies (18-62, 8-31 Home) were in fine form with four consecutive wins, but have now lost five of the previous six. After losing a series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at home, the Rockies will lose this one against the Dodgers as well. Colorado fought in Game 1, but was powerless in last night’s 8-1 defeat. Chase Dollander took the loss after allowing three runs on three hits with one strikeout and two walks in 5.2 innings.

This season, the Rockies average 3.55 runs per game (27th in the MLB) on a .229/.291/.382 triple-slash. When it comes to pitching, the Rockies’ staff has a 5.54 ERA (30th) and 1.55 WHIP (30th). Hunter Goodman leads the Rockies with a .287 batting average, 14 home runs, and 48 RBI this season.

Austin Gomber will take the mound for the Rockies on Thursday. The 31-year-old left-hander has a 0-1 record in two starts this year with an 8.38 ERA and 1.66 WHIP in 9.2 innings.

Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers won nine of the previous ten H2H encounters, nine straight, including all five duels this season. Three of those five went Under, and I am backing another Under here, not because the Rockies are a good defensive team, which they clearly aren’t, but because of Clayton Kershaw. Kershaw was excellent in his last three starts, allowing three runs in total, while he allowed a .200 BA in 60 at-bats against the Rockies in his career. Austin Gomber, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back from a disastrous start against the D-backs. I don’t expect miracles from him against the best offense in the MLB, but I do expect a decent display. Go with Under.
