When baseball bettors think of the Colorado Rockies they think of the thin air of Coors Field and OVERs. But that couldn’t be further from the truth when the Rockies clash with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the past 24 meetings between the NL West rivals, the UNDER has cashed 18 times including Games 2 and 3 of their current four-game series.
Julio Urias didn’t start the season with the big club but he has proven that he should have. In the youngster's three big league starts this season he has a 1.06 ERA and has yet to allow a home run in 17.0 innings. Though Urias has worked himself behind in counts too often, he has clamped down by allowing opposing batters to hit just .083 with men on.
Reigning NL Rookie of the Month Antonio Senzatela will get the start for the Rockies. Senzatela has a stellar 2.86 ERA and has held opponents to two runs or less in five of his seven starts. The Venezuelan has gotten better as the game goes on with opponents slashing .264/.323/.434 the first time through the lineup compared to just .158/.238/.281 the second time around.
