Diamondbacks, Rockies Seek Win Streaks in NL West Matchups

The Los Angeles Dodgers, leading the NL West with an 81-64 record, are aiming for their third consecutive win against the struggling Colorado Rockies, who hold a 40-105 record and are on a four-game losing streak. Tyler Glasnow delivered seven no-hit innings in the Dodgers' recent win, supported by effective relief pitching, while Emmet Sheehan is set to start against the Rockies after a solid performance in Pittsburgh. The Rockies will start Germán Márquez, who has struggled since returning from Tommy John surgery with a 6.19 ERA. Key players for the Dodgers include Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts, while the Rockies rely on Hunter Goodman and Yanquiel Fernandez. The Rockies have a significantly worse road record and have been outmatched by the Dodgers in their season series. Both teams face injury considerations as they prepare for this matchup, with the Dodgers hoping the return of players Smith and Vesia will boost their lineup.
