Colorado at Los Angeles MLB Prediction 10/01/2018

The Rockies won nine of their last 10 games, but they have only won one of their previous nine playoff games, and they were swept by the Dodgers in the last series between these clubs. Marquez was lights out in his previous start, but that was facing a Phillies' team that fell apart in September and only ranked tied for 22nd in the Majors in runs scored. The Dodgers lost Buehler’s last start, but he only gave up two runs in that outing and in his previous two starts did not give up any earned runs. Not only do these two teams have exactly the same record, but the Rockies are 44-37 on the road this season, and the Dodgers are 44-37 at home. Both starters will have good outings in this game, but Buehler will have the slightly better one. He will hand the ball off to the Dodgers' bullpen with the lead, and they will do the rest. The Dodgers will win this tiebreaker game and head to the NLDS while the Rockies will play in the NL Wild Card game for the 2nd season in a row.
