Pitching Matchup
Shohei Ohtani will make his tenth start this season for the Dodgers while the Rockies will start Tanner Gordon for his ninth start of the season.
Ohtani has yet to pick up a decision, still sitting with a 0-0 record through his first nine starts due to the fact that he has yet to pitch more than four innings. In 23 and one third innings pitched, he has allowed 21 hits, 5 walks, and 9 runs for an ERA of 3.47 while striking out 32 batters.
His most recent start was his longest, but also his worst, going four and one third inning against the Angels, allowing five hits and four runs.
Tanner Gordon has been less than stellar for the Rockies this season, going 3-5 through eight starts with a 7.98 ERA. His ERA in the month of August so far is 14.59.
Recent Performance
The Rockies have been the worst team in the MLB for the majority of the season and are currently nine games behind the White Sox, who are the only team ahead of Colorado.
However, they’ve been able to put a little run together recently, winning six of their last games, including the first game of this series against the Dodgers.
The Dodgers, on the other hand, have been inconsistent since the All-Star break, but managed to sweep the Padres, who had been one of the hotter teams in the league at the time prior to this series.
Head To Head
After dropping the first game unexpectedly, the Dodgers found some major course correction in Game 2, defeating Colorado 11-4 last night. MLB betting sites expect more of the same, giving Los Angeles -200 odds to win by two or more runs.
The two teams have played eight times so far this season and Monday night’s victory for Colorado was their first of the season series, which currently sits at 7-1 in favor of the Dodgers.
Though Ohtani has been shaky at times since his return to the mound, he has not been nearly as bad as Tanner Gordon and the Dodgers’ bats are a step above the Rockies. Pick the Dodgers to cover the spread.
