Los Angeles at Colorado

The Dodgers blockbuster trade with the Red Sox has fortified their lineup, but it did not help them yesterday as they managed just a pair of runs. LA was honestly overrated before the deal, and now are even more overrated. This team got off to a huge start, but over their last 60 games, they have struggled to a 26-34 mark. Those are not playoff caliber numbers. Josh Beckett has the name, but his numbers are awful this year. He's 5-11 with a 5.23 ERA overall and over his last three starts, he's given up 18 earned runs (9.92 ERA). The Rockies are playing as well as at any point of the sesason and have won 10 of their last 14 games, and that includes eight of their last nine as an underdog! The Dodgers sure have had problems inside the division where they are just a woeful 7-19 in their last 26, and Colorado has been a big part of that as they are 6-2 vs the Dodgers in the last eight played here. When favored on the road vs. a LHP this season, LA owns a losing record. Colorado gets the call.
