Colorado Searching for Answers on the Road
The Rockies enter Wednesday’s contest with a 20-35 overall record and a difficult 10-20 road record. Colorado recently lost to Los Angeles by a 5-3 score after previously dropping consecutive games against Arizona by scores of 9-1 and 5-4. The Rockies did recently win over Arizona 3-2 during this stretch, but the team has still lost four of its last five games overall.
Colorado is batting .242 as a team with 222 runs, 447 hits, 46 home runs, a .309 on-base percentage, and a .376 slugging percentage. The pitching staff has struggled throughout the season with a 4.99 ERA, a 1.47 WHIP, 186 walks, 398 strikeouts, and a .277 opponent batting average. The Rockies also own a 13-22 record in night games entering this matchup.

One of the biggest challenges for Colorado entering this game is overall pitching consistency. The Rockies have allowed opponents to hit .277 against them while carrying the highest opponent batting average between these two teams. Against a Dodgers offense that has consistently produced runs this season, limiting scoring opportunities becomes extremely important.
Dodgers Continue Strong Stretch at Home
Los Angeles enters this matchup with a 34-20 overall record and a 16-10 home record. The Dodgers recently won over Colorado 5-3 and have now won four of their last five games overall. Los Angeles also recently won over Milwaukee by scores of 5-1 and 11-3 while recently winning over San Diego 4-0. The only loss during the recent stretch came in a 5-1 game against Milwaukee.
The Dodgers are batting .258 with 279 runs, 465 hits, 68 home runs, a .344 on-base percentage, and a .427 slugging percentage. On the mound, Los Angeles owns a 3.10 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, 151 walks, 479 strikeouts, and a .211 opponent batting average. The Dodgers also carry a strong 24-15 record in night games this season.
One of the key strengths for Los Angeles is complete balance across the roster. The Dodgers hold advantages over Colorado in batting average, runs, home runs, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, and opponent batting average. Combined with the dominant starting pitching numbers entering this matchup, Los Angeles appears well positioned again at home.
Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Picks and Prediction
Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Pick
- Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers Run Line
Los Angeles enters this matchup with major statistical advantages across nearly every category provided. The Dodgers have already recently won over Colorado and continue to play strong baseball overall with four wins in their last five games. The starting pitching matchup also strongly favors Los Angeles based on the provided numbers, especially with the Dodgers starter carrying a 0.73 ERA and a 0.84 WHIP. Colorado’s pitching struggles and losing road record make the Dodgers run line the stronger option here.
Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Total Pick
- Pick: Take the under if the total is set at 8.5.
I would lean toward the under if the total is set at 8.5 because Los Angeles has consistently controlled opponents with strong pitching throughout the season. The Dodgers own a 3.10 ERA and a .211 opponent batting average, while Colorado has struggled offensively during recent losses. Los Angeles recently won over Colorado 5-3, and the starting pitching advantage points toward another controlled game for much of the night.
