Colorado at Los Angeles

As usual, Colorado is a lousy road team (26-50) riding a 7-15 run overall. Colorado is 16-36 away against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, plus 10-24 versus the NL West. The Rockies start struggling Chi Chi Gonzalez (6.23 ERA), who has walked 30 batters in 52 innings along with 54 hits allowed. He faces a powerhouse LA  Dodgers offense that is fifth in runs scored and on-base percentage, and fourth in slugging. The Dodgers are 22-7 against losing teams, as well as 49-12 at home against a right-handed starter. Walker Buehler is having another strong campaign and the Dodgers are 18-6 when he starts at home. The Rockies are on a 17-35 run against the Dodgers, including 13-39 in Los Angeles. Play the Dodgers.
