The Los Angeles Dodgers won a thriller over the Colorado Rockies last night and now look to secure the series on Tuesday.
My Rockies vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks back the home side to keep rolling, with Los Angeles covering the run line behind a favorable matchup against struggling right-hander Michael Lorenzen.
Who will win Rockies vs Dodgers today: Dodgers -1.5 (-137)
Michael Lorenzen is having an abysmal season, and this is a terrible matchup for him — but a great one for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
That's because Lorenzen is getting tagged hard by left-handed hitters. On the season, lefties are slashing .365/.423/.640 against him while posting a 1.94 HR/9 rate.
Lorenzen owns a 5.07 xFIP versus left-handed hitters over the past month, but that number could be even worse. He's surrendered a HR/FB rate of only 4.8% despite allowing a 37.5% fly-ball rate.
The Dodgers' left-handed bats should do plenty of damage as Los Angeles covers the run line.
I'm betting this to -150 as my best bet.
COVERS INTEL: Lorenzen's hard-hit rate of 51.8% vs. left-handed hitters over the past month is the second-highest mark among starting pitchers who have faced at least 30 left-handed batters.
Rockies vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Over 9.5 (-103)
Lorenzen will get us close to the total, but two overworked bullpens should carry this game Over.
Last night's 11-inning contest further taxed a Colorado Rockies bullpen that's thrown the fifth-most innings (32 2/3) of any club over the past week.
During that stretch, the Rockies own the lowest strikeout rate (14.4%) in baseball. An inability to miss bats against the Dodgers is never a recipe for success.
Colorado's .566 slugging percentage leads the majors over the past month, and the Rockies should tack on a few runs after Justin Wrobleski exits against a Dodgers bullpen that has logged the same number of innings over the past week as Colorado.
I'm playing this to -115.
- ML/RL bets: 10-14, -4.90 units
- Over/Under bets: 14-10, +3.28 units
