Kenny Ducey’s Rockies vs Dodgers Preview
Colorado Rockies Betting Preview: Marquez Season Struggles Continue
German Marquez will ride again on Tuesday, bringing a 6.19 ERA across 22 starts into Dodger Stadium. He owns a respectable 4.19 ERA at the park over the course of his career and on the whole has been fine on the road with a 4.03 ERA, but this season has been a different story.
The veteran hasn't found success no matter the venue, looking lifeless with a .297 Expected Batting Average on the year with a brutal .497 Expected Slugging, and his lack of strikeouts and constant battle with keeping fly balls in the yard have led him to this point.
Marquez did find a way to complete four innings without an earned run the last time these two met at Coors Field, and he struck out six along the way, but the last time he saw the Dodgers in L.A., he allowed seven runs in the first inning.
Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview: Sheehan Last Hope for LA
The Dodgers are a much different team than they were back at the start of the year. They rank fifth-worst in wRC+ over the last two weeks, with a slight influx of strikeouts bringing their K-rate up over 22%. They're hitting just .231 over the split with a weak .131 Isolated Power, and several key names are either missing or have been rendered ineffective.
The bullpen has taken a step back, too, with many starters failing to give L.A. length for most of the season, and that should put the onus on Emmet Sheehan here to come up with the goods. He's been more than capable of winning games by himself with a solid 27.6% strikeout rate and increasing gains in his whiff and chase rates.
Sheehan was less than dominant the last time he squared off against the Rockies, allowing four earned runs over six, but he did come away with seven punchouts and had to survive the hardest park in baseball for a fly-baller like himself.
Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction, Betting Analysis
Sheehan should continue racking up strikeouts with Colorado standing as one of the most undisciplined teams in the league, and a weak .129 ISO should work in chorus with a better park for the young right-hander to deliver results.
That should stick a fork in the Rockies' bats here, with contact hard to come by, but on the other end of the stick, I'm cautiously optimistic in Marquez. He's dealt with the Dodgers decently well in the past — including this season — and he'll meet the weakest version of the team with very few of L.A.'s big bats hitting in the last few weeks.
Will Smith and Tommy Edman may return soon, but as far as this game's concerned, I'm not loving either offense.
