Dodgers vs Rockies MLB Betting Picks and Predictions 3/20

As the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies get ready to face each other on March 20th, all eyes will be on the pitching staff of both teams, as both have struggled in the early part of the season.

The Dodgers have been able to rely on their hitting to win games so far, but they will need their pitching to step up if they want to keep up their impressive start to the season. As of now, their record stands at 12-6, with a 7-2 record away from home. They are currently favored to win the game with a moneyline of -145.

On the other hand, the Rockies have struggled both at home and on the road, with a record of 9-14 and a 3-8 record at home. However, they have a chance to turn things around in this game, especially if their pitching staff can step up.

Let's take a closer look at each team's hitting and pitching:
