The starting pitchers for these teams are very similar in terms of their numbers so this will likely go to the better batting team. The Rockies have been one of the worst teams at bat but against left handed pitchers they've actually been pretty good unlike the Dodgers who are worse against lefties. Im going with the underdogs in this one.
