Preview

The Colorado Rockies and the Los Angeles Dodgers will play the 6th game of this double series at the Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. The Rockies took the win 5-2 on Tuesday's game. Urias pitched five innings and allowed two runs — both on solo homers. He will finish the season as the National League's ERA leader at 2.16 with a 17-7 record.

 

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers get here with a 110-51 record and have won 6 of their last 10 games. The team is averaging 5.27 runs per game and they're batting for .263 AVG, 781 runs scored in 1284 hits and 197 home runs, ranking #1 in offense in the league. Mookie Bets leads the team batting for .266 AVG. and 33 home runs. Trea Turner has 96 RBI. 

Defensively they are allowing 3.14 runs per game and rank #1 in the league. Julio Urias leads the team with a 2.30 ERA, 144 strikeouts and 16 wins recorded.

Probable Pitcher:  Clayton Kershaw (11-3, 2.30 ERA)

Kershaw will be on the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Dodgers. With it being a home start against the Rockies, Kershaw is still a great bet for a strong performance, but it's unclear how many innings he will pitch. He has a record of 25-11 with an ERA of 3.43 and 301 strikeouts in 47 appearances versus the Rockies in his career.

Colorado Rockies

The Rockies get here with a 67-94 record and have lost 7 of their last 10 games. The team is averaging 4.38 runs per game and they're batting for .258 AVG, have 612 runs scored in 1220 hits and 124 home runs, ranking #12 in offense in the league behind the Texas Rangers. CJ Cron is leading the team with 29 home runs and 101 RBI and a batting average of .268.

Defensively they are allowing 5.43 runs per game and rank #30, the worst in the league. German Marquez leads the pitching staff with a 5.15 ERA, 136 strikeouts and 8 wins recorded for the Rockies.

Probable Pitcher:  NA (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

Chad Khul was lined up to start Wednesday's season finale versus the Dodgers, but he'll instead finish the campaign on the injured list.

 

BETTING TRENDS

Colorado are 3-9 SU in their last 12 games against LA Dodgers.

Colorado are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Colorado's last 12 games when playing on the road against LA Dodgers..

The total has gone UNDER in 6 of LA Dodgers' last 8 games.

LA Dodgers are 12-6 SU in their last 18 games.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of LA Dodgers' last 7 games against Colorado.

 

Prediction

The Rockies took the win again on Tuesday's game but they're still 4-9 in the last 13 games vs Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers who's having an insane season but he should be limited on pitches for this game. I expect a high scoring as the Rockies will probably go with the bullpen and they have one of the worst in the league so go with the over.
