The last two weeks have probably felt like a never-ending nightmare for the Dodgers. They dropped a ninth straight decision last night and are now on the verge of being swept by the Rockies on home turf. Can the Blue Crew win a game before the cruising Indians lose one?
- The Dodgers are 1-14 SU and 0-15 on the runline in their last 15 games.
- The Rockies are 5-1 SU and 4-2 on the runline in their last 6 games.
- The total has gone OVER in the Rockies’ last 5 games.
Rich Hill (9-7, 3.67 ERA) will take the mound for the Dodgers looking to stop the bleeding but he’s going to need an awfully big bandage. The lefty has given up at least one home run in seven consecutive starts and he’s far from the pitcher who nearly threw a perfect game in Pittsburgh last month.
Vying for the final NL playoff spot, the Rockies need every win they can get and they’ve started getting creative in the rotation. Tyler Chatwood (6-12, 4.88 ERA) will reclaim his spot in that starting rotation today after spending the last month in the bullpen.
The 27-year-old breaking-ball specialist performs much better on the road than he does at Coors and should give the Rox a chance to once again upset the Dodgers at Chavez Ravine.
