Dodgers vs Rockies Betting Pick
This game will be played at Coors Field at 8:40 PM ET on Thursday, July 28, 2022.
Why Bet The Dodgers:
✅ Jose Urena will toe the slab for the Rockies, and the 30-year-old right-hander is 1-2 with a 3.13 ERA and a troublesome 4.70 FIP and 1.42 WHIP in four starts and four relief appearances (31.2 innings pitched) in 2022. Last Saturday, Urena was shelled for six runs (five earned) on six hits and a couple of walks across 5.1 innings of work in a 9-4 defeat at the Milwaukee Brewers. Jose ranks in the 12th percentile in xwOBA.
✅ The Dodgers are hitting an excellent .255/.327/.475 since the All-Star break. They hold a .269/.353/.484 triple-slash with 32 home runs and 48 extra-base hits across 698 at-bats in July. The Dodgers boast the second-highest scoring offense in baseball, tallying 5.11 runs per game.

✅ The Rockies’ bullpen has been pretty inconsistent all season. It holds an underwhelming 4.46 ERA, 4.31 FIP, and 4.7 BB/9 in 76.2 innings of work in July while posting a 4-4 record.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Wednesday night’s games are not included in the analysis, and the 64-32 Dodgers were looking to avoid a sweep in a three-game home series against the lowly Washington Nationals. LA swept San Francisco in a four-game set at Dodger Stadium to start the second half of the season, but the Dodgers obviously underestimated the Nats, who have outscored them 12-4 through a couple of games.
Julio Urias will get the starting call Thursday. The 25-year-old lefty is 9-6 with a strong 2.72 ERA and 1.00 WHIP in 19 starts (102.2 IP) this season. Urias has gone 6-0 with a 2.58 ERA and 2.83 FIP over his previous seven starts and 38.1 frames of work.
Colorado Rockies
The 44-54 Rockies played the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, hoping to avoid a sweep in a two-game interleague series at Coors Field. Colorado has won only one of its previous five games while surrendering 27 runs in the process.
The Rockies are scoring 4.57 runs per game (10th in the MLB) on a .261/.325/.407 slash line (.243/.312/.396 league average). They are slashing a solid .260/.325/.428 with 22 home runs and 54 extra-base hits across 753 at-bats in July.
