Key Storylines
- Pitching matchup: Emmet Sheehan is 3–2 with a 3.86 ERA this season. He takes the mound for the Dodgers in this game and enters with a strikeout rate of 9.5 K/9 innings. Austin Gomber is 0–6 with a 6.75 ERA. He will start this one for the Rockies and his numbers indicate that he could be in for a rough day against the dangerous Dodgers lineup.
- Key Players: Shohei Ohtani leads the Dodgers with 43 home runs and 81 RBI. But it will be the bullpen of the Dodgers that will be the key to this game after they failed to hold up late against Colorado. Hunter Goodman provides power for the Rockies with 25 home runs and 69 RBI. He will be key to his team’s success tonight.
- Recent team streaks: The Dodgers have won 3 of their last 5 games. They had a three-game winning streak snapped by the Rockies last night. The Rockies enter this contest on a four-game winning streak and will look to extend that streak with another upset win over their division rivals.

My best bet for this NL West contest is for it to go over the total.
