Rockies Vs. Dodgers Game Preview: Mookie Betts Out Of Lineup

The Los Angeles Dodgers became just the seventh team in MLB history with at least 110 wins in a single season, and look to continue adding onto their total while remaining healthy as they reach the halfway point of a series against the Colorado Rockies.

The Dodgers’ final homestand of the regular season started in blowout fashion and continued with a comeback win thanks to a bevy of walks handed out by Rockies pitchers. A win Sunday would tie the Dodgers with the 1954 Cleveland Indians for third-most in MLB history.

It also would keep them on track to set the franchise record for most wins at Dodger Stadium. That currently belongs to the 2019 Dodgers that went 59-21 at home. This year’s team needs to complete a sweep of the six-game series to break that record, or go 5-1 to tie it.

Tyler Anderson is on the mound for his final start in the regular season. Anderson enters 15-4 with a 2.54 ERA and is coming off a no-decision against the San Diego Padres.

Anderson was named to the Dodgers’ postseason rotation, but which National League Division Series game he would start has not been announced. It’s presumed to be Game 3, which would be on the road for the Dodgers.

The Rockies counter with Germán Márquez, who is below .500 this season at 8-13 to go along with a 5.12 ERA and has struggled against the Dodgers after a strong start in early April.

Márquez allowed just one run over seven innings in that outing, but since then has allowed a combined 14 runs (13 earned) in three starts against L.A.

As expected, Chris Taylor is out of the Dodgers lineup because of neck stiffness. He was scratched after going through a workout on Saturday, and so too was Justin Turner, who returns.

Turner was in the initial lineup on Saturday before a decision was made to provide him with another night of rest to continue recovering from a left shin contusion. Turner last played on Sept. 27.

Mookie Betts gets a day of rest, which has Joey Gallo starting in right field.

Prior to the game the Dodgers placed Michael Grove on the 15-day injured list with a left knee contusion and recalled Andre Jackson. Grove was hit by a line drive on Saturday and underwent an X-ray that came back negative.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts hopes Anderson and Jackson can combine to pitch the entirety of Sunday’s game to provide the bullpen with a break.
