Trea Turner leads the Dodgers with 90 hits and 53 RBI, while Freddie Freeman and Mookie Betts have combined for 153 hits and 86 RBI. Clayton Kershaw gets the ball, and he is 5-1 with a 2.00 ERA and 47 strikeouts this season. Kershaw is 24-9 with a 3.32 ERA and 290 strikeouts in his career against the Rockies.

The Dodgers are 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 92-43 in their last 135 overall. The Rockies are 3-7 in their last 10 home games and 1-5 in their last 6 overall.

The Los Angeles Dodgers should be favored with Kershaw on the mound, but their offense has been hit or miss, and they’ve lost 3 of their last 5 games Kershaw has pitched. Kyle Freeland has allowed 23 hits and 9 runs in his last 27 innings, and he’s holding current Dodgers hitters to a .219 batting average with 32 strikeouts in 177 at bats. I’ll take a shot with the Rockies and the big plus money.
