Colorado Rockies (Freeland) vs. LA Dodgers (Gonsolin)
After a tough series with San Francisco, the Dodgers meet up with the Rockies. This should have given them the opportunity to regroup and get back to business, but they were embarrassed by the Rockies last night. Gonsolin (1-1, 2.67) is on the mound for the Dodgers. His last start was his worst, giving up 3 runs in the first, which were the only runs he did give up. While he hasn’t been going deep into his starts, he has been consistently good, as his ERA shows.
The Rockies’ Freeland is 1-4 with an ERA of 5.36. While he hasn’t pitched badly in July, some his stats are downright scary, in particular an ERA of 9.45 vs left handed batters. When you combine this with the Dodgers’ ability against lefties (18-11), it is something to consider.
Much has been made of the Dodgers’ Kenley Jansen’s 3 blown save meltdown and last night’s relief debacle, but the Dodgers still have a much superior relief corps. Much superior offense. 10-3 as a home favorite. Plus, their bats are on fire for the past two weeks. Compare to the Rockies: 2-14 as a road underdog, 27-40 against a right handed starter, and of all things, 5-13 on Saturdays. Which leads one to wonder what they get up to on Friday nights..
My wagering
The Dodgers are a huge favorite and have something to prove this evening, but taking them with the spread is a good value. Dodgers to win -1.5.
