Los Angeles and Colorado will be facing off on Saturday, April 9th.
Tony Gonsolin will be facing German Marquez in this one.
The Dodgers won the first game of the series on Friday by a score of 5-3.
Los Angeles Dodgers
As expected, the expectations this season for the Dodgers are off the charts.
Before they signed Freddie Freeman, they already had a loaded roster and that is even more true now.
When an organization spends money as this team does, they do not do it just to have a good playoff run.
The sole goal of this team is to win the World Series. Anything short of that is a failure, no matter how well they play in the regular season.
Last year with the Giants playing as well as they did and winning the division, that definitely surprised some folks. With that said, if things go as planned and people stay healthy, this division really should belong to LA.
In the win over Colorado, Walker Buehler went 5 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. It was a solid performance for one of the best arms in the game today.
Tony Gonsolin, who will be getting the start on Saturday night is going to be a key part of this rotation.
He may not be a guy that gets a ton of attention or get a lot of name recognition, but he has stepped up for these guys over the years. Although he typically does not deliver a lot of length in his starts, he proves to be effective more times than not.
Colorado Rockies
By most accounts, it is going to be a tall order for the Rockies to have all that great of a season.
In a division that is very talented and one that gets a lot of talk, this is a team that really has not been getting a ton of chatter and that really does not surprise me.
At this time, I just do not feel they have enough talent to compete with the top teams in the West and really in the league.
Don’t get me wrong, signing a guy like Kris Bryant is a big deal, but that still does not mean that this lineup is flooded with talent from top to bottom.
One area of concern that I have for these guys is pitching. I would not exactly call them deep in that category, which always seems to spell trouble for teams.
Kyle Freeland finished going 3.2 innings and allowed 5 earned runs on Friday. Simply put, that is not going to get it done during the course of the season.
German Marquez will really have to step up on Saturday. This is obviously a team that he has experience going against, but it certainly will be no easy feat for him to keep that at ease.
This game will be a good chance for the Rockies to get in the win column. Gonsolin is a solid arm, but I am sure they would rather face off with him than a guy like Urias or Kershaw.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies MLB Prediction:
Los Angeles looked good in the first game of the series and I look for that to keep up on Saturday.
Marquez is their best pitcher, but it still is going to be very difficult to slow down this explosive offense.
Overall, I feel that the Dodgers have too much firepower here.
I like the Dodgers on the road here.
