Pitching Matchup

The pitching matchup for the game will be Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias (7-6, 2.78 ERA) against Rockies right-hander Antonio Senzatela (4-4, 4.91 ERA).

Urias has been one of the best pitchers in the National League this season, while Senzatela has struggled at times. The Dodgers will be looking to Urias to continue his strong pitching, while the Rockies will be looking to Senzatela to give them a quality start.

Prediction

The Dodgers are the clear favorites in this game. They have a better record, a better offense, and a better pitching matchup. The Rockies will need to play their best game of the season in order to pull off an upset. The Dodgers should be more than ready as they seek to extend their lead in the National League West, and the Rockies are a young up-and-coming team. They did just sweep the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road, and they took two of three from the Chicago Cubs. Therefore, this game is not guaranteed.
