Colorado Rockies

As the Colorado Rockies prepare to face the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 24, 2025, at Coors Field, both teams come in with contrasting narratives. The Rockies, sitting at an abysmal 18-60 this season, are hoping to build on their unexpected victory against the San Francisco Giants on June 22, where they managed a 4-2 win. Meanwhile, the Dodgers boast a strong 48-31 record, solidifying their position as one of the top teams in MLB.

This matchup features German Marquez, projected to start for the Rockies, who has had a rough season. With a Win/Loss record of 3-8 and an ERA of 6.11, Marquez is ranked as the 211th best starting pitcher, indicating he has struggled significantly. However, he did show promise in his last start on June 18, going six innings with no earned runs in a display that offers a glimmer of hope for Rockies fans.

On the other side, Jack Dreyer will take the mound for the Dodgers. Although his recent outing was abbreviated, he has the potential to limit runs and provide a solid start for a team boasting the best offense in MLB. The Dodgers rank 1st in team batting average and 1st in home runs, reflecting their offensive firepower.

Despite the Rockies being heavy underdogs with a moneyline of +220, advanced projections suggest that Marquez’s luck may turn, hinting at a possible underdog victory. The Game Total is set at a high 11.5 runs, indicating expectations for a high-scoring affair. As the Dodgers aim to continue their strong season, the Rockies will look to capitalize on any slip-ups and provide their fans with a reason to celebrate.

Los Angeles Dodgers Insights

• Los Angeles Dodgers – Moneyline (-255)
  The Los Angeles Dodgers outfield defense grades out as the 2nd-weakest out of all the teams playing today.
  Explain: Defense is an integral part of preventing (or, in this case, allowing) hits and runs.
• Max Muncy – Over/Under 1.5 Total Bases (-115/-115)
  Batters such as Max Muncy with extreme groundball tendencies are usually more effective when facing pitchers like German Marquez who skew towards the flyball end of the spectrum.
  Explain: This mostly has to do with the way the hitter’s swing plane interacts with the pitch trajectory, and it can create boosted performance across all categories and hidden value few are considering.
• Los Angeles Dodgers – 2H Moneyline
  According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the Los Angeles Dodgers’ bullpen ranks as the 10th-best among all MLB teams.
  Explain: Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a strong bullpen sneakily creates a tougher matchup for the opposing offense and suppresses a game’s runs.

Colorado Rockies Insights

• Colorado Rockies – 1st Five Innings (F5) Moneyline (+175)
  German Marquez is an extreme groundball pitcher (44% GB% per the leading projection system, THE BAT), which should make him somewhat immune to the dangers of pitching in Coors Field — the #7 HR venue among all major league parks — in today’s game.
  Explain: This pitcher’s skill set matches up particularly well with the park he’s in today, which may lead to better-than-expected performance.
• Tyler Freeman – Over/Under 1.5 Hits (+170/-225)
  Tyler Freeman has primarily hit in the back-half of the lineup this year (72% of the time), but he is projected to hit 1st in the batting order in this matchup.
  Explain: The higher in the order a player bats, the more plate appearances he will get and the more opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits higher in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting lower.
• According to the leading projection system (THE BAT X), the Colorado Rockies are expected to score the 3rd-most runs (6.33 on average) on the slate.
  Explain: THE BAT X is a highly sophisticated projection system that accounts for a multitude of factors like player quality, ballpark, weather, umpire, defense, and more.
