Rockies vs. Dodgers Game Info
Ty Blach (0 SV, 4.85 ERA) vs Clayton Kershaw (10-4, 2.55 ERA)

On Thursday, veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw will start; he has a 2.55 ERA and an outstanding 10-4 record. The Dodgers are second in MLB in terms of runs scored per game this year with 5.7, and their variety at the plate is unparalleled.

MLB Odds/Point Spread: Los Angeles Dodgers -350, Total Odds: 8.5
This should be a one-sided contest on Thursday night even with Kershaw being on a pitch count. With the loss of Cron and Grichuk, the Rockies’ lineup has been significantly diminished, and they were already among the worst road hitters in baseball. Although he will undoubtedly be a little rusty, Kershaw has always been a good control pitcher, so 80 pitches should at least get him through the sixth inning in this game. From there, the Dodgers’ upgraded bullpen will take care of holding the Rockies in check. The Dodgers are one of baseball’s top offensive teams, ranking second in runs scored per game. They should be able to show off their power against the Rockies because they are second in home runs per game. The LA Dodgers hit close to .280 in their previous 10 matches. The Dodgers are 4-1 over the Rockies this season.
