Rockies vs Dodgers recent form and records
Now 92-62, the Dodgers are tied with the Philadelphia Phillies for the best record in the MLB. 6-4 over the course of their last ten games, the Dodgers lead the Padres by four games in their division and are coming off of a series win against Miami.
The situation has been far less positive for the Rockies this season. On account of their 59-95 record, Colorado stands some 33 games behind the Dodgers. Though .500 across their last ten games, the Rockies sit 26 games behind the New York Mets, who hold the final NL Wild Card spot, meaning that October baseball will not be in the cards.

Must-Watch Hitters
Colorado
Although Ezequiel Tovar is hitting just .224 over the past two weeks, the infielder has been the best-producing member of the club. Having logged 2 home runs and 5 RBIs in his team's recent series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tovar's 620 at-bats lead the National League.

Third baseman Ryan McMahon has 2 home runs and 3 RBIs in his past 11 games. A .308 hitter against the Dodgers this season, Colorado will look to McMahon to get something started offensively.
Los Angeles
After his 6-for-6, three-homer night against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, Shohei Ohtani is once again the hottest name in baseball. A career .333 hitter against Colorado, watch out for Ohtani to keep the magic happening.

Apart from Ohtani, shortstop Tommy Edman has been the Dodgers' most valuable hitter. Over the past two weeks, Edman has hit .327 with 6 home runs, 14 RBIs, and 11 runs scored.
