Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 05/26/26

The Rockies have fallen back to Earth, losers of 3 in a row and 6 of their last 7. In fact, Colorado is 6-17 in the month of May. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are the complete opposite, as they’ve found their juice again – winning 10 of their last 12 after Monday’s 5-3 win over the Rockies. Colorado’s Tanner Gordon was very good with his 5 starter innings, but the bullpen did not support him and allowed 4 runs in the 7th inning. Meanwhile, Emmet Sheehan did not earn the win for the Dodgers, but he threw 6 innings of 2-run ball with 8 strikeouts and just 1 walk. 

Today’s pitching matchup is one that features a pair of struggling lefties. Colorado will send Kyle Freeland to the mound, and he is 1-5 with a 7.04 ERA and 1.70 WHIP this season. Furthermore, this Dodgers lineup is hitting .280 against him in 214 career at-bats. Los Angeles will counter with Eric Lauer, who is also 1-5. Lauer has a 6.69 ERA and 1.49 WHIP and has surrendered at least 3 earned runs in 5 of his last 6 starts. Moreover, Lauer has given up at least 1 home run in all but 1 game, while Freeland has surrendered at least 2 per game in 3 of his last 4. 

Given both pitchers’ struggles as well as the Dodgers’ money-line price, the over is the most appealing bet in this game. Look for both offenses to capitalize on Freeland and Lauer’s inability to suppress runs.
