The Los Angeles Dodgers are all set to head to Coors Field tonight to face the hurt lineup of the Colorado Rockies in one of the most exciting MLB matchups for today.
While the Dodgers stand as one of the strongest seeds in the league and are currently number one in NL West MLB standings, the Rockies remain at the bottom of the very same division.
With a 45-26, the Dodgers are one of the closest teams in a tight pursuit to reach the Yankees. The New York Mets are just above the Dodgers with a 47-27 mark, which leaves LA as the third-best team in the league when it comes to numbers.
As for the Rockies, despite their 31-42 record, Colorado is far from the worst team in the league. Two recent losses over the Minnesota Twins have just added to the constant suffering that has become the Rockies’ incapability of dropping to the last spot in their division.
On the other hand, the Dodgers walked away with a 5-3 over the Atlanta Braves last night in their most recent game. The Dodgers remain with solid potential to keep climbing and hold on to the title as one of the top seeds in the league.
Dodgers vs Rockies Odds
The Dodgers are now leading with -200 MLB odds, implying that bettors can turn a $200 bet into a $100 win if they favor the LA lineup.
LA has remained a consistent team through this first stage of the season. With a 25-14 away performance record, the Dodgers are even making it to the top of the ranks as one of the most solid teams when playing on the road.
AS for the Rockies, +168 odds imply that Colorado will feature as the underdog for tonight’s matchup. For bettors, a $100 wager on the Colorado Rockies tonight could potentially turn each hand into a $168 profit.
The Rockies have continued to struggle and will now face the top division team at their home field with an even 19-19 home performance record. This certainly points to the Rockies’ deficient effort at becoming a more solid home team.
The Avalanche might be just a win ahead. Yet, at this stage, every point counts, and any lead weighs heavier than it would at any other stage of the playoffs. That is why tying the series is now Lightning’s top priority.
If consistency throughout every quarter is what the Lightning is looking for, then they will need to continue to rely on Steven Stamkos as their top player on the ice range. Stamkos is now leading Tampa Bay with 42 goals and 64 assists for a total of 106 points.
