The Los Angeles Dodgers saw their four-game winning streak snapped in Monday's 2-1 home loss to the Rockies but they made it five wins in their last six games with Tuesday's 5-3 victor. The rubber match of this three-game series goes tonight, as the 21-27 Dodgers hope to reduce their 4 1/2-game deficit in the National League West behind the first-place 26-23 Rockies with a win. Chris Taylor hit a two-run HR and Yasiel Puig followed with a solo blast during the decisive sixth-inning uprising on Tuesday. The suddenly hot Puig has homered five times in his last eight games, after not homering in his first 28 contests. The Rockies have registered only 10 hits over the first two games of the series and are anticipating that Nolan Arenado soon will arise from a 15-game home-run drought.
The pitching matchup: Colorado lefty Kyle Freeland (4-4, 3.17 ERA) gets the nod and will be opposed by LA's Kenta Maeda (3-3, 3.89 ERA). Freeland enters having won three straight decisions, allowing just three runs on 13 hits over 20 innings. He defeated San Francisco in his last outing, allowing one run on five hits over 6 2/3 innings. Freeland went 1-2 with a 4.26 ERA in four starts against the Dodgers as a rookie last season. Maeda is receiving an extra day of rest after a stellar effort in his last start, when he gave up two hits over eight scoreless innings against Miami last Thursday in 7-0 win. Maeda is 4-2 with a 2.56 ERA in seven career appearances (five starts) versus the Rockies.
The pick: The Rockies will be back in Denver on Friday night against the Reds, after wrapping up their latest road trip tonight in LA. Despite Tuesday night's 5-3 defeat at Dodger Stadium, the Rockies are 19-12 away from Coors Field and no team in baseball has more road victories (note: the Rockies have also played a major league-most 31 road games).However, we are starting to see LA come around. After all, they have won the NL West the last five seasons. Yes, the Dodgers are just 9-14 at home in 2018 but let's not forget that they were 57-24 at home last season (most home wins in all of MLB). Make LA an 8* play.
