Colorado Rockies will be squaring off against Los Angeles Dodgers in the MLB on Saturday, 09 April 2022 at 01:40 AM IST
Colorado Rockies (COR) Team Preview:
The Colorado Rockies start the 2022 season with a young roster that has the potential to make progress in a tough National League West division. The lineup, like most years, is the strength of the team, led by newly signed slugger Kris Bryant and veteran outfielder Charlie Blackman.
The success for the Rockies in 2022 will largely depend on their starting pitching. The team hopes that young arms such as Austin Gomber and German Marquez can take a step forward in their pro careers.
Los Angeles Dodgers Team Preview:
The Los Angeles Dodgers recently signed former National League MVP and World Series Champion Freddie Freeman to a deal. The significance of this deal is huge and has changed the entire outlook of the National League. The Dodgers were already loaded without Freeman. Now they have the potential to be the greatest team ever assembled on paper.
With this signing, the Los Angeles Dodgers are betting favorites at +500 to win the title, according to Bally Sports.
To go along with their loaded lineup, the team has one of the best pitching staffs in baseball, which includes stars Walker Bueler and Clayton Kershaw.

Injury/unavailable
Colorado Rockies Baseball Team Injuries:
The Rockies are also lucky insofar as they do not have too many injuries to concern themselves with.
However, notable DL assignments include starting pitcher Ryan Rolison, assigned to the 60-day DL with a left shoulder strain.
Rolison joins fellow starting pitcher Peter Lambert, who is on the DL with forearm inflammation.
Bullpen reliever Robert Stephenson is day-to-day as he has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list on Wednesday.
LAD Baseball Team Injuries:
Despite having a fairly clean bill of health, the LA Dodgers are currently experiencing some injuries among their bullpen pitching staff, including some long-term disabled list assignments.
The most prominent is right-handed pitcher Jimmy Nelson. Nelson, 32, underwent surgery last August to repair a tendon flexor in his pitching arm. The prognosis for his return does not have him back
