When looking at their early season runline record, the Rockies currently sit at 2-2. Last season, they were 42-39 against the runline on the road. Their over/under mark comes in at 2-2.

Early on, the Dodgers have won half of their games, posting a mark of 2-2. Los Angeles will continue their early run of home games as they have played all their games at home so far.

Pitching Matchup

Ryan Feltner finished last season with an overall record of 4-9 and an ERA of 5.83, having made 20 appearances for the Rockies. If Feltner wants to improve his pitching this year, he needs to do a better job of preventing opponents from hitting for power. Last season, he finished with a slugging percentage allowed of .460.

 

Last season, Michael Grove appeared in seven games for the Dodgers, finishing with an overall record of 1-0 and an ERA of 4.60. Although Grove had a small workload last season, he was effective in limiting opponents’ power. Batters hit just .260 with a slugging percentage of .463 against him.

Free MLB Pick

Neither starter in Monday’s game at Dodger Stadium really deserves to be in the bigs. Ryan Feltner has horrible numbers, and not just at Coors Field. He’s equally bad on the road. Dodgers starter Michael Grove isn’t much better. The only reason he got called up was because Ryan Pepiot is out. I like this game to go OVER 8.5 runs! Note: If you’re wagering on baseball this season, it’s IMPERATIVE that you’re doing so at a bookie that offers MLB dimelines! It’ll save you TONS of money and pay you more on your wins!
