The surging Los Angeles Dodgers, who have won 11 of their last 13 games, go for the sweep of the visiting Colorado Rockies tonight.

With Cy Young-minded Shohei Ohtani taking the mound, my Rockies vs. Dodgers predictions see the Boys in Blue rolling to a comfortable victory. 

See my full analysis, Over/Under prediction, and MLB picks for Wednesday, May 27.

Who will win Rockies vs Dodgers today: Dodgers -2.5 (-102)

Tomoyuki Sugano’s 3.86 ERA looks fine on the surface, but his “underlying metrics” are more like an “unmitigated disaster”.

His 7.43 xERA indicates immediate regression. That’s understandable since he ranks in the first percentile in barrel rate and xBA.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the perfect opponent to make him pay, given their league-leading .265 xBA.

On the other side of things, Shohei Ohtani (0.73 ERA) hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in a start and should hold down a poor Colorado Rockies lineup.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Tomoyuki Sigano’s 80 Stuff+ ranks dead last among starters who have thrown at least 10 innings and pales in comparison to Shohei Ohtani’s 115 Stuff+.

Rockies vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-120)

Colorado has a measly 67 wRC+ against right-handed pitching in the last 20 days. It’s difficult to envision them crossing the plate many times against Ohtani, who suppresses hard contact (92nd percentile barrel rate) and has a masterful 21.6% K-BB%.

The Dodgers have hit the Under in seven of Ohtani’s eight starts. 

That’s partly due to his utter dominance on the mound, and partly because manager Dave Roberts has opted to take him out of the lineup when he pitches. That’s likely the case after he was beaned in the hand on Tuesday.
