Dodgers vs. Rockies: Game 2 Prediction, Odds and Picks - June 18, MLB 2024

The LA Dodgers showed their utter dominance in their 9-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies in Game 1 of their four-game series on Monday. Dave Roberts and his men would now try to keep up their two-game winning streak and try to win the third one as they face the Rockies for Game 2 on Tuesday.

The Rockies, on the other hand, are currently on a two-game losing streak and would likely do everything in their power to get out of this bad run.

This is the second series between both sides. At the beginning of this month, the Dodgers and Rockies crossed paths for the first time this season and after a disappointing Game 1 defeat, the Dodgers ended up winning that series 2-1. Rockies this time would surely try to turn the table.

Walker Buehler will start things off on the mound for the Dodgers. The 29-year-old RHP, since his return from injury, has played and started seven games for his side. He has a 1-4 record, an ERA of 4.64, a WHIP of 1.45, and 29 strikeouts under his belt so far this season.

For the Rockies, 30-year-old LHP Austin Gomber will start on the mound. He has a record of 1–4, along with an ERA of 4.26, a WHIP of 1.32, and 49 strikeouts so far this season.

The Dodgers are currently leading the NL West division with a 45-29 record, while the Rockies are at the bottom of that division with a 25-47 record.

Dodgers vs. Rockies Prediction

The two NL West rivals, to date, have faced one another a total of 520 times. The Dodgers historically have an upper hand in this rivalry with a 310-210 record.

In Mookie Betts' absence, Shohei Ohtani performed well as the lead-off hitter. Pitcher James Paxton pitched seven strong innings for only one run. The Dodgers' offense scored nine runs on the night. They are again favored to win the second game on Tuesday.

Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, James Paxton, Gavin Stone, Teoscar Hernandez and Buehler have all been quite decent so far and have been a crucial part of the team's success since the early beginning of this season. They are surely going to play an important role for their team during Game 2 and should be looked out for.

For the Rockies, players like Ryan McMahon, Brenton Doyle, Charlie Blackmon, and Ezequiel Tovar have shown decent form. They could surely play a significant role in the match for their team on Tuesday.

Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-120).
