Dodgers Look to Rebound in Series Finale at Coors Field

DENVER (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers will aim to salvage a series split when they conclude a four-game set against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field on Monday.

The Dodgers (15-6), who own the best record in the National League, have dropped two straight in Denver, including a 9-6 loss on Sunday. The Rockies (9-13) have won four of their last six.

Left-hander Justin Wrobleski (2-0) is set to start for Los Angeles. The Rockies will counter with left-hander Jose Quintana (0-1).

A player to watch for the Dodgers is rookie right-hander Roki Sasaki, who took the loss Sunday after allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings. The highly touted pitcher has struggled to find consistency, posting a 7.36 ERA over his first four major league starts.

Colorado outfielder Mickey Moniak has been a key contributor in the series, going 4 for 12 with a home run and three RBIs over the first three games. He was 2 for 5 with a three-run homer in Sunday’s victory.

The series has followed a pattern of home dominance. The Dodgers won the opener 7-1 on Friday before the Rockies claimed the next two, 4-3 and 9-6.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the Dodgers are projected to win 7-3. Los Angeles has been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5. The over/under is set at 11 runs.

Following Monday’s game, the Dodgers travel to San Francisco for a three-game series starting Tuesday. The Rockies will remain at home to begin a three-game set with the San Diego Padres on Tuesday.
