The Dodgers (34-20) returned home from a 7-2 road trip and just needed a late rally to top the Rockies (20-35) at Dodger Stadium, 5-3.

Rockies vs. Dodgers Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Tuesday, May 26

The key number for the Dodgers to be successful is 4. Los Angeles has won 16 consecutive games when scoring 4+ runs, with the last loss coming on April 24 to the Cubs, 6-4.

On the flip side, the Dodgers are 2-14 since April 18 when scoring 3 or fewer runs. Basically, the two-time defending champions aren't winning low-scoring games but can’t seem to lose when the offense is clicking.

Colorado sits in last place in the NL West, but the Rockies have made great strides since their disastrous 2025 campaign. The Rockies won their 20th game last season on July 3 but reached that mark on May 22 with a victory at Arizona.

It’s not surprising that the Dodgers own the best xBA (.266), xSLG (.448), and xwOBA (.352) in baseball. But they accomplished that mostly without SS Mookie Betts, who has missed 34 games this season and is batting just .165.

Los Angeles won 69% of its divisional matchups last season, although that number has slipped to 61% in 18 opportunities this season. Six of their seven NL West losses came to San Francisco and Colorado, the only two teams with a losing record in the division.

The Rockies sit in the bottom five of xBA, xSLG, and xwOBA and their pitching staff is the worst in opposing wOBA (.352).
