The Los Angeles Dodgers head to Coors Field on Wednesday night with division supremacy on the line as they face the struggling Colorado Rockies in what should be a mismatch on paper.
Shohei Ohtani takes the mound for his first win of the season against Tanner Gordon, who sports an ugly 7.98 ERA but has shown flashes in recent outings.
While the Dodgers are heavy favorites at -275, the Rockies have quietly won six of their last seven games and could provide value as a live underdog in the thin Denver air.

Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers preview
The Dodgers (71-54) travel to the thin air of Coors Field looking to bounce back after a surprising sweep at the hands of the Angels last week, though they did recover nicely with a dominant series sweep of the Padres over the weekend.
Colorado (36-89) has been playing spoiler lately, winning six of their last seven games entering Tuesday and actually took the series opener against Los Angeles, showing they won't roll over despite their dreadful record.
Shohei Ohtani gets the ball for the Dodgers coming off a rocky outing where he allowed four runs in just 4.1 innings against the Angels, and he's still searching for his first win of the season despite posting a solid 3.47 ERA.
The Rockies counter with Tanner Gordon, who owns a ghastly 7.98 ERA and 1.80 WHIP this season but did manage to pick up a win in his last start against Arizona despite allowing three runs in five innings.
Key for Los Angeles will be getting length from Ohtani, as their bullpen has been shaky with a 4.20 ERA that ranks just 20th in baseball, while Colorado's offense has been surprisingly productive lately, scoring 26 runs in their last five games.
At Coors Field, where offense traditionally flourishes, this shapes up as a potential slugfest between a Dodgers team that averages over five runs per game and a Rockies squad that's been swinging hot bats despite their poor overall record.
