The Long Season Continues For Colorado
The Rockies dropped their 104th game of the season Monday night, falling 3–1 to the Dodgers in a game where they managed just one hit and struck out 12 times. Their lone run came on a sacrifice fly from Kyle Farmer in the second inning, but the offense was otherwise silent, going hitless over the final seven frames. Hunter Goodman, who had entered the game on a five-game hitting streak, went 0-for-2 with a strikeout, and the team finished 0-for-3 with runners in scoring position.
German Márquez gets the start Tuesday with a 3–12 record and a 6.19 ERA across 22 outings. He’s been tagged for 143 hits in 107.2 innings, and opponents are batting .318 against him. Márquez has struggled against the Dodgers in particular, posting a 13.50 ERA and 2.786 WHIP in prior meetings. His five quality starts offer a glimmer of reliability, but he’s allowed four or more earned runs in 12 outings and has been especially vulnerable to power-heavy lineups.
Offensively, Goodman remains the centerpiece, batting .283 with 29 home runs and 86 RBI. Mickey Moniak (.264 AVG, 19 HR) and Jordan Beck (.270 AVG, 15 HR) provide some lift, while Brenton Doyle (.247 AVG, 14 HR) adds speed and defense in center. Still, the Rockies rank 29th in runs scored and 23rd in home runs, and their .980 fielding percentage and 101 errors reflect defensive struggles that compound their pitching woes. 
Dodgers Maintain Slim Lead In The West
The Dodgers notched their 80th win Monday night behind Tyler Glasnow’s five innings of one-run ball and a pair of RBI from Shohei Ohtani, including a sac fly and a double. They’ve now won nine of their last 12 and are 8–0 at home over that stretch, continuing to dominate the season series against Colorado. With a +95 run differential and 719 runs scored, Los Angeles remains one of the most complete teams in baseball—and currently holds a one-game lead over the Padres atop the NL West.
Emmet Sheehan returns to the mound Tuesday with a 5–3 record and 3.59 ERA, holding opponents to a .218 batting average and logging 60 strikeouts in 52.2 innings. He’s allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven of his 11 appearances and has held opponents scoreless three times. Against Colorado earlier this season, Sheehan gave up two runs over six innings with seven strikeouts, and he’ll look to replicate that success against a lineup that ranks 29th in scoring.
The Dodgers’ offense continues to fire on all cylinders, led by Ohtani (48 HR, 90 RBI), who’s batting .278 over his last five games with two homers and five walks. Mookie Betts (.253 AVG, 16 HR) has a four-game hit streak and added a triple and a homer in his last five outings, while Freddie Freeman (.295 AVG) and Andy Pages (.270 AVG, 24 HR) round out a lineup that ranks third in home runs and second in slugging (.436). With a .988 fielding percentage and a bullpen that’s converted 62.3% of save chances, the Dodgers are built to win in every phase.
Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Pick
Rockies vs Dodgers Runline Pick
The Dodgers on the runline (-1.5) is a strong position given their current form and matchup advantages. They’ve covered in eight straight home games, including Monday’s 3–1 win where they controlled tempo from the first pitch. Emmet Sheehan returns to the mound with a solid track record against weaker lineups, and Colorado’s offense—coming off a one-hit, 12-strikeout performance—is unlikely to mount sustained pressure. With the Dodgers’ bullpen rested and their defense sharp, the margin for error is comfortably in L.A.’s favor.
Offensively, the Dodgers have the firepower to break this open early. Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Andy Pages all bring multi-run potential, and they’ll face German Márquez, who’s been tagged for four or more earned runs in over half his starts. Márquez’s struggles against L.A. are well-documented, and with the Rockies bullpen ranking dead last in save percentage, late-inning insurance runs are firmly in play. If the Dodgers score first—and they’ve done so in 11 of their last 13—they’re built to stretch the lead and cover comfortably.

Rockies vs Dodgers Over/Under Pick
The Under 9 looks sharp in this spot, especially with Colorado’s offense coming off a one-hit, 12-strikeout showing and facing a dialed-in Emmet Sheehan. The Dodgers have leaned on pitching and defense during their current home win streak, allowing just 2.4 runs per game over their last eight at Dodger Stadium. German Márquez has struggled, but if he can limit early damage and avoid the big inning, this game could stay tight. With both bullpens relatively fresh and the Rockies unlikely to contribute much scoring, a 5–2 or 6–1 final feels well within range.
