Rockies vs. Dodgers Odds & Betting Predictions - September 22, 2024

Follow On X: https://x.com/PicksOffice The Dodgers’ offense is absolutely on fire right now, averaging over ten runs per game in their last six outings. This kind of momentum is hard to ignore, especially when facing one of the weakest teams in the league, the Colorado Rockies. Los Angeles has consistently pushed games to high totals, hitting the over in seven consecutive games and in nine of their last ten overall. Their high-octane offense, led by multiple power hitters, has been punishing opposing pitchers with ease, and there’s little reason to think that will change against Cal Quantrill. Walker Buehler’s inconsistency only bolsters the case for a high-scoring game. While Buehler has shown flashes of brilliance in the past, he has struggled throughout this season. His 5.54 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 14 starts are both well above his career norms, pointing to vulnerability on the mound. If he continues to labor through innings, the Rockies could take advantage and tack on some runs themselves. Buehler’s inconsistency combined with the thin air of Coors Field will make it difficult to keep this game low-scoring. On the other side, Cal Quantrill’s struggles have been even more pronounced. His 4.68 ERA across 27 starts and a 1.47 WHIP highlight his challenges in keeping baserunners off the paths. While Quantrill found brief success in May, his recent form is worrisome, with ERAs of 7.54 and 5.40 in July and August, respectively. Quantrill’s inability to control the strike zone, as shown by his 63 walks this season, opens the door for the Dodgers’ explosive lineup to capitalize and push the score higher. When these two teams meet, runs come in bunches. Colorado has gone 6-4 on the over in their last ten games, and in the last five head-to-head matchups with the Dodgers, the over has hit four times. Moreover, both the Rockies and Dodgers have been averaging nearly ten combined runs per game across recent contests. With two shaky pitchers on the mound and offenses capable of producing fireworks, especially in the hitter-friendly environment of Coors Field, the conditions are ripe for another high-scoring affair.
