On the pitching front, Tyler Kinley has been exceptional for Colorado. With an ERA of 0.00 across two appearances and a K/9 rate of 10.8 in one game against Los Angeles, Kinley's control and effectiveness could be pivotal in keeping the Dodgers' bats at bay.

Over three games, Betts has maintained an impressive .278 batting average with an OPS of 1.244, underscoring his role as a key offensive catalyst for Los Angeles.
