"1 UNIT" NATIONAL-TV LATE NIGHT (Dodgers -120 at home versus Rockies in a 10:10 eastern start broadcast on the MLB Network------Mortenson versus Lilly): Dating back to the early stages of May host Los Angeles had baseball's 6th-best ERA (3.24) but only had a 10-11 overall record to show for it due to a horrible offense as only 3 other teams around the league have scored fewer runs than the Dodgers. In that near one-month span Los Angeles had the worst collective batting average in the majors (.211) with runners in scoring position. That has all changed in the past two days as the Dodgers collected a grand total of NINE clutch hits with runners in scoring position. The Dodgers offense as a whole is finally starting to get healthy as a pair of veteran infielders (Rafael Furcal, Casey Blake) recently returned from stints on the disabled list while firstbaseman James Loney just ended a massive 45-game drought without hitting a homerun. What this has done is take the pressure off of two bonafide star players (Andre Ethier, Matt Kemp) who the financially strapped Dodgers are trying to sign for the long term. While Ethier has had baseball's longest hitting streak, Kemp currently has more stolen bases than homeruns. While the Dodgers are finally getting healthy, the exact opposite is true for Colorado who yesterday hit a dreadful 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position (2-9 overall slide as a team). In a strange statistic from my database research Colorado is a disastrous 1-7 this season after consecutive games where the bullpen gave up "zero" runs. In this Colorado/Los Angeles series the HOME team is on a 3-0 run and I expect that trend to continue. Many thought that the NBA Championship series would open this evening with the defending champion Lakers involved, but Los Angeles courtesy of MLB Network does have a squad on National-TV
