Los Angeles Dodgers Odds
Sure, the Dodgers enjoyed scoring 15 runs at Colorado on Friday, but seeing Cody Bellinger collect a single, a double and a home run was most promising of all. Bellinger has looked nothing like he did in his MVP season of 2019, but perhaps that is starting to turn. He now has hits in four consecutive games, and Friday was his first three-hit game since Aug. 25. The home run was his first this month.Mookie Betts has given the Dodgers everything they could have hoped for. He had three more RBIs Friday and scored three runs. Seven Dodgers starters had at least two hits in the 17-hit attack.Los Angeles will put their fate in good hands Saturday with left-hander Clayton Kershaw (5-2, 2.28 ERA) on the mound. He is coming off a nine-strikeout game at San Diego, though he lost that Sunday contest after giving up three runs in 6 1/3 innings.
Colorado Rockies Odds
As a team, the Rockies might be glad when their season series against the Dodgers is compete, but Josh Fuentes might not share the same feeling. Fuentes hit his second home run of the season Friday, and both have come against Los Angeles. He also had three hits in an otherwise forgetful 15-6 defeat.The Rockies are just 11-17 at home, and they have lost five of their past six, all in their own park. Charlie Blackmon, who once looked to have a shot at a .400 batting average during the shortened season, is at .314 after going 1-for-3 on Friday.Left-hander Chi Chi Rodriguez (0-1, 8.68) will take the mound Saturday after he didn’t even make it out of the first inning in his previous outing, Sept. 8 at San Diego. He is 1-0 with a 2.66 ERA in four career games (three starts) against the Dodgers.
