The Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium on Monday night, hoping to snap a three-series losing streak. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET, and the game will be televised on SportsNet LA.
The Dodgers are coming off a rough weekend, losing a series to the Chicago Cubs. But with a struggling Rockies team coming to town, Los Angeles hopes to regain momentum in this National League West matchup.
Dodgers Look to End Losing Streak
The Dodgers have dropped three straight series, including their latest against the Cubs. On Sunday Night Baseball, the team failed to rally and ended the series with a disappointing performance.
Despite the recent skid, Los Angeles remains one of the most talented teams in baseball. The Rockies, on the other hand, sit near the bottom of the division and have struggled to keep up with top teams this season.
Monday’s game gives the Dodgers a strong chance to bounce back at home.
Who’s on the Mound?
Dustin May is expected to start for Los Angeles. May is seeking his first win of the 2025 season. Known for his fastball and control on the mound, he’s been a key part of the Dodgers’ rotation in past years.
For the Rockies, Antonio Senzatela will take the mound. His career numbers against the Dodgers suggest he could be in for a tough outing. In 17 appearances, Senzatela holds a 4–6 record and a high 6.08 ERA against Los Angeles.
Shohei Ohtani Set for a Comeback
Shohei Ohtani had a quiet series against the Cubs, going just 1-for-12 at the plate. But history suggests he could bounce back quickly.
Against the Rockies in his career, Ohtani has been dominant. He’s batting .402 with nine home runs and 26 RBIs in just 25 games.
Given those numbers, Ohtani is expected to play a big role in Monday’s game, with a strong chance to exceed 1.5 total bases.
Dodgers’ Offense Poised to Break Out
With Senzatela’s track record against L.A., the Dodgers lineup is in a good spot to shine. The team is aiming to score at least five runs, something they’ve done often against the Rockies in past seasons.
If hitters like Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts, and Max Muncy join Ohtani in finding their rhythm, the offense could take off.
