Given their payroll and star-studded lineup, it is no surprise the Dodgers have the best record in baseball at 14-4. This includes a 5-1 road record. LA has a plus-46 run differential, which is also number one. The Dodgers have won by more than one run in nine of their last 11 victories. Colorado has lost by more than one run during five of its last six defeats. Look for the visiting Dodgers to win by multiple runs again here, as this is a huge mismatch. The Dodgers are first in many of the key offensive categories, including runs, batting average, and homers. They also have the second-lowest ERA and have committed the second-fewest errors. LA starter Tyler Glasnow can be dominant when healthy, and he is healthy right now. The 7-12 Rockies are 23rd in runs, and their pitchers have compiled the fewest strikeouts. Soft-tossing Tomoyuki Sugano makes his fourth start for the Rockies after going 10-10 with a 4.64 ERA and 1.33 ratio for the Orioles last year during his first season in the big leagues. Lay 1.5 runs with the Dodgers on the runline.
