Dodgers vs. Rockies: Game 4 prediction, odds and picks - June 20, MLB 2024
After winning the first two games of the series, the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday suffered an unprecedented halt in their winning streak as they faced a disappointing 7-6 loss against the Colorado Rockies. A win in this game could have sealed the series victory for the Dodgers, but it now seems to have kept the possibility of a draw alive for the Rox.
Dave Roberts would surely be disappointed with his team's result from Wednesday's game and would urge his players to get back on track and win this four-game series finale on Thursday, June 20th.
The Rox, on the other hand, being the underdogs must be very excited that they came up trumps against a formidable side such as the Dodgers. They would hope to keep this momentum going and possibly shift the results of Thursday's game on their side as they host the Dodgers.
Gavin Stone will start things off on the mound for the Dodgers. He has played and started 13 games so far this season with a 7-2 record, while having a 3.01 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 56 strikeouts.
For the Rox, Ty Blach will start things on the mound. The 33-year-old LHP has played 11 games so far this season and has started 8 of them. He holds a 3-4 record along with an ERA of 4.65, a WHIP of 1.41 and 27 strikeouts under his belt.
The Dodgers are currently leading the NL West division with a 46-30 record, while the Rockies are at the bottom of that division with a 26-48 record.

Dodgers vs. Rockies Prediction
To date, both the NL West rivals have faced one another a total of 522 times. Historically, the Dodgers have an upper hand over the Rockies with a 311-211 record.
Although they lost last night, their dynamic performance in the first two games of this series and the overall dominating performance this season have surely made the Dodgers the favorites to win the series finale on Thursday as well.
After Mookie Betts' injury, Shohei Ohtani has been the leadoff and he looks like a natural at the spot. In Tuesday's game, he also hit the longest home run of this MLB season of 476 meters.
Others like Teoscar Hernandez, Freddie Freeman, and Gavin Stone have been pretty decent and important parts of the Dodgers' success so far this season. They will surely be looked out for in the series finale when the Dodgers come out to get back on the winning tracks and try their best to win the series finale on Thursday.
For the Rockies, after the surprising victory on Wednesday, they would now look to draw the series by winning the series finale as well. Players like Brenton Doyle, Ezequiel Tovar, Charlie Blackmon, and Ryan McMahon, even though they didn't get the results they would have hoped for, have been pretty decent throughout the season.
They would surely be the key for the Rockies if they want to succeed again in fighting head on against the Dodgers in game 4 of the series.
Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers -2.5 (+100).
