Denver hosts a key late-season tilt as the Dodgers visit the Rockies at Coors Field. Emmet Sheehan will face Austin Gomber in a pitching duel that could swing fantasy rosters and betting slips alike. Los Angeles owns the better overall record (71-53) but is venturing into the altitude with a lineup that must stay disciplined against Colorado’s ballpark. The Rockies have momentum on their side, riding a four-game streak and tying a season-best 6-1 stretch over seven games, while Warming Bernabel delivered a dramatic bottom-of-the-ninth winner against LA in a recent showdown that underscored Colorado’s late-inning bite.

Odds skew toward the Dodgers, but the Rockies’ recent surge makes a case for a balanced approach: LA on the moneyline, Colorado to cover the +1.5, and a lean to the under 11 runs given Coors Field dynamics and two shaky starters. NBC Sports’ model leans into a Dodgers win but flags plenty of volatility given the ballpark and matchup quirks. Fantasy managers should monitor the bullpen usage and weather forecasts for a clearer read on who benefits most from the late-inning grind.

The clash features a notable pitcher-vs-batter edge at altitude, while Bernabel’s late heroics add a narrative lift for Rockies backers. This game feels like a true test of how far LA’s road resilience travels in a hitter-friendly environment, and whether Colorado can sustain its current run of form against a potent opponent. The betting market and projection tools suggest a tight, high-scoring environment, with a slight coaching tilt toward Dodgers’ bullpen management in the late innings.

Fantasy managers should weigh streaming options carefully: Emmet Sheehan’s solid season-to-date versus Coors field volatility, and Gomber’s rough-in-2025 numbers may temper upside for Rockies bats. Bernabel remains a sleeper if he earns extra at-bats or shares at-bats with Colorado’s shifting lineup, while Dodgers stacks should be considered with caution in this environment.

Colorado rode a ninth-inning miracle to a 4-3 win over Los Angeles at Coors Field, riding a dramatic walk-off RBI from Warming Bernabel after a seventh-inning game-tying homer by Ezequiel Tovar. The Rockies hacked through five strong bullpen frames to set up one more late rally, snapping a brutal 10-game skid against the Dodgers and pushing Colorado a step closer to respectability behind a young, hungry core. Bernabel’s single on a late-abat-trick play capped a tense finish, while Tovar’s earlier blast kept Colorado within reach. The Dodgers’ offense did enough in the middle innings, but Colorado’s resilience and depth yanked the game away in dramatic fashion, signaling a hot stretch for a team that’s just starting to believe in itself.

Colorado accomplished a 6-5 win over Arizona in a game that felt more like a carnival than a baseball game, thanks to an oddly heroic save by Juan Mejía. With two outs and runners at second and third, Mejía rushed off the mound to corral Ketel Marte’s pop-up, while Warming Bernabel barreled in, ending up colliding with his pitcher. Mejía clung to the ball and never let the moment derail a hard-fought Rockies victory.

Teammates roared with laughter after the play, but the scene underscored a Rockies squad that rarely lacks energy or drama. Mejía’s save—first of his career, delivered in the most unorthodox fashion—embodied the season’s spirit: volatile, improvisational, and somehow effective when it matters most. “Rockies style” capped a tense finish that could’ve swung the result the other way.

The win came as Colorado contends with a 2025 season defined by costly lapses and tough results. Marte’s pop-up and Bernabel’s hustle added a memorable capstone to a game that showcased both the unpredictability and the spark that keeps fantasy rosters uneasy yet hopeful. That’s how you end a game, Rockies style.

Arizona stitched together a late surge to flip a tight contest with Colorado, as Lourdes Gurriel Jr. ripped a ninth-inning double off the wall to score Geraldo Perdomo and seal a 6-5 win for the Diamondbacks. Gurriel drove in three runs on the night, adding a sac fly and a single earlier as Corbin Carroll homered for the third straight game on a Star Wars bobblehead night that drew a robust crowd. The win came with Andrew Hoffmann, just acquired from Kansas City, firing a clean 1-2-3 ninth for his MLB victory. Ketel Marte contributed with a double that helped spark a three-run third, while Perdomo added his third hit of the game, setting the stage for Gurriel’s dramatic finale. On the other side, Brenton Doyle’s two-run blast and a trio of Rockies RBIs from Kyle Farmer, Warming Bernabel and Ezequiel Tovar kept Colorado in it until the last out. Colorado starter Eduardo Rodríguez lasted 5 1/3 innings, and while Blalock added a late four-bit line, the ninth-inning rally wasn’t enough to keep the series from slipping away. The Diamondbacks move to a fragile .500-ish position, but the late-inning power and timely hitting create a promising fantasy narrative around Gurriel, Carroll, Hoffmann, and Perdomo as the five-tool core remains potent.
