Game Outlook
The Dodgers have dominated the season series, winning seven straight meetings against Colorado dating back to last September. Los Angeles has been strong offensively, leading MLB with 32 home runs, while the Rockies rank 28th with just 10 home runs.
With Miller making his season debut and Márquez struggling, expect the Dodgers to have the edge. If Colorado can capitalize on early scoring opportunities, they could make it competitive. However, Los Angeles’ depth and home-field advantage make them the favorites.
