Pick rationale

Analysis & key factors

  • The Dodgers are fighting to climb back into 1st in the NL West.
  • Colorado will probably be selling at the deadline once again.
  • Los Angeles is 299-206 in their all-time history against the Rockies.

The Dodgers and the Rockies match up in an NL West bout. Los Angeles is on unfamiliar ground, currently sitting in 3rd place in the division instead of 1st, while Colorado remains in last place by a large margin.

Prop Bets

Prop BetOdds
Chase Anderson OVER 4.5 Ks
Chase Anderson UNDER 4.5 Ks

Prediction:

Chase Anderson has had a tumultuous first few months with the Rockies. He signed with them after being DFA’d by the Rays early in the year. He looked stellar in his first 8 starts, pitching to a 2.72 ERA, though he averaged just 4 and a half innings pitched in those games. Since then, he’s given up 16 ER in just 5.2 IP, equivalent to a 25.41 ERA. He’s struggled to make batters miss, too. I’d take the under for Anderson here.

Pick:


Prop BetOdds
Freddie Freeman OVER 0.5 Hits
Freddie Freeman UNDER 0.5 Hits

Prediction:

Freddie Freeman continues to prove the Dodgers right for acquiring him. After hitting .325 with a .918 OPS in his first season in Los Angeles last year, Freeman is once again performing at an elite level. He ranks 4th in the MLB with a .316 BA and 5th in OPS with an improved mark of .940. After entering June hitting .339, Freeman has cooled off a bit this month, but I still feel good about taking the over here against Colorado.

Pick:


Prop BetOdds
Ryan McMahon OVER 0.5 RBIs
Ryan McMahon UNDER 0.5 RBIs

Prediction:

Ryan McMahon has heated up a lot lately. About a month ago, he was hitting just .212. Since then, he’s gone 39 for 114 (.342) at the plate, raising his season-long batting average to .264. He leads the team in RBIs, though Colorado’s inability to score allows McMahon to be the team leader despite ranking 52nd in the MLB. He’s now gone seven games without driving in a run, so I see him as due. The over has upside.

Pick:
