Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
Colorado Rockies
The Colorado Rockies schedule has them on the road for the first seven games of the year. The Rockies are facing some terrific teams. Colorado got off to a great start by winning two straight games against the San Diego Padres, but now they are headed in the other direction.
C.J. Cron has put up some impressive MLB player stats this season. He has belted three home runs to go along with a .467 batting average. The Rockies have scored 16 runs on the year, and that offense will have to carry them this season.
Pitching is always going to be a problem for the Rockies, but they do have a solid ERA of just 3.71 so far this season. Right-hander Ryan Feltner is going to be on the mound to begin this series. He went just 4-9 with a 5.83 ERA a season ago.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The MLB injury report for the Los Angeles Dodgers already doesn’t look great, but this is a team that can withstand plenty of injuries. Los Angeles went 2-2 in their opening series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, but they should be one of the best MLB teams in the league.
The Los Angeles Dodgers score a ton of runs as they are putting up five runs per game. Trayce Thompson leads the team with three home runs and 8 RBIs this season, and Will Smith is leading the way with a .455 batting average.
Michael Grove will be making the start for the Dodgers in this game, and he has had a very small sample size in MLB. Grove went 1-0 a season ago, and he is a pitcher that the Dodgers are counting on this season.
