Betting on the Colorado Rockies

Regular Season Record: 2-3

After starting the season with two great victories against the Padres, the Rockies team suffered its third pitiful defeat in a row on Monday.

Colorado’s pitching was punished by a Dodgers’ offense that hit up to three homers and turned the scoreboard around with seven runs in the fifth inning. This performance is so far the worst of the season for this pitching staff, which in three of the first four games against the Padres conceded three runs or fewer.

On the offensive side, the Rockies’ bats have yet to ignite as expected after starting the season with seven runs against San Diego. Since then, they haven’t been able to score more than four runs in a single game, and on Monday they only managed six hits against LA’s pitching.

Taking the mound for the Rockies on Tuesday’s Rockies vs Dodgers game is right-hander Germán Márquez, who had a solid performance as the Opening Day starter for his team. Against the Padres, the Venezuelan pitched six innings, allowing only two runs and striking out five. He also has a career record of 3-4 with a 3.58 ERA in 16 starts against the Dodgers.

Starting Pitcher: Germán Márquez (1-0, 3.00 ERA)

Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers

Regular Season Record: 3-2

As expected, the Dodgers’ offense is built to demolish the pitching of most teams in their division, and they certainly didn’t disappoint in their first confrontation against the Rockies on Monday.

For the second time this season, Dave Roberts’ boys put up over 10 runs, winning both games. In their other victory, they scored eight times, but in the two instances where they only managed to score once, they were defeated by Arizona.

Freddie Freeman and Will Smith are on fire with their hitting, and rookie James Outman is bringing some serious speed to the bases with two crucial triples for the home team.

As for pitching, the Los Angeles team has been unbeatable on the mound, and these four runs by Colorado are the most allowed in a game so far. Let’s remember that they didn’t give up more than two runs against the D-Backs in any of the four games.

To complete the sweep, the Dodgers will have their ace, Julio Urías, on the mound. The Mexican had a great performance on Opening Day against the Diamondbacks, getting the win after pitching six innings with two runs and six strikeouts. Plus, he has a record of 5-2 with a high ERA of 4.91 in 84.1 innings pitched against the Rockies.

What’s more, with Urías on the mound, the Dodgers have a great chance to continue their winning streak. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for an exciting Rockies vs Dodgers game!

JefeBet Prediction

After such a ruthless offensive display by the Dodgers, it seems a bit crazy to even consider a close game the next day, especially when facing off against the Rockies.

However, this Tuesday’s pitching matchup is shaping up to be a real doozy. Both Márquez and Urías looked sharp in their first starts of the season, and they’ve got some impressive stats against their opponents.

Also, if we follow the pattern of the Dodgers’ recent games, we can see that after scoring eight runs in their first game of the season, they only managed to score one in the second. Then, they exploded for 10 runs in the third game, but only scored one the next day. So, after putting up 13 runs in their last game, it’s likely that their production will drop again. Meanwhile, Colorado has struggled to hit the ball hard, and it looks like they’ll have a tough time doing so against the Mexican pitcher on the mound.

If you need more convincing, consider this: four out of the last five games between these teams in Los Angeles have ended up being Under, and in the last 28 games, the Under has a record of 18-8-2. So, it seems like a safe bet to go with the Under for this Rockies vs Dodgers.

Prediction: Under (LA 5 – COL 2)
