Los Angeles Dodgers @ Colorado Rockies - June 26, 2025

As the Los Angeles Dodgers gear up to face off against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation. The Dodgers are riding high on a three-game winning streak and currently boast an impressive 50-31 record. Meanwhile, the Rockies are struggling significantly with a dismal 18-62 record this season.

Starting for the Dodgers is Clayton Kershaw, who has been solid on the mound this year with a 3-0 record and a 4.3 ERA. While his strikeouts per game average stands at about 8.7, Kershaw’s ability to limit runs will be crucial as he faces off against a Rockies lineup that has struggled offensively.

On the other side, we have Austin Gomber taking the hill for Colorado. With an ERA of 5.6 and an underwhelming strikeout rate of around 6.6, Gomber’s performance thus far raises concerns about how he’ll fare against one of MLB’s most potent offenses in Los Angeles.

When we analyze both teams’ batting stats, it’s clear why oddsmakers have opened this matchup with the Dodgers as -280 favorites. The Dodgers are averaging approximately 5.6 runs per game, accompanied by nearly 9 hits and over 5 RBIs—indicative of their offensive prowess. In contrast, the Rockies are only managing around 3.5 runs per game with a batting average that hovers around .221—a stat that screams inefficiency.

In their recent clash where Colorado fell to Los Angeles by an overwhelming score of 8-1, it was evident that bettors who placed money on LA were rewarded handsomely while UNDER bettors also celebrated since the total score landed below expectations at just nine runs.

Given these trends and statistics leading into Thursday’s matchup, I expect another dominant showing from the Dodgers offense against Gomber’s shaky pitching performance. With their current form and historical success against this opponent—winners in nine out of their last eleven games—the odds seem stacked heavily in favor of Los Angeles continuing their streak.

Furthermore, considering both teams’ recent performances regarding totals—particularly how five out of Colorado’s last seven games have gone UNDER—the expectation for tonight leans towards hitting OVER due to LA’s explosive offense paired with potential defensive lapses from Colorado.

Overall, I predict that tonight will see the Dodgers not only extend their winning streak but also put up enough runs to push past that total line set at twelve—making for an exciting night at Coors Field!
