It is time for the Dodgers vs Rockies live stream presented Los Angeles at the start of the Road to Repeat. Colorado, on the other hand, looks to move on from live with its star third baseman in this MLB live stream. And we won't mince words: the Dodgers are stacked. They are poised to contend for a second straight World Series title and an eighth as a franchise.

Everywhere you look on the diamond, they seem to have a star occupying that portion of the field. Right winger Mookie Betts finished second in NL League MVP voting in his first year in LA, while shortstop Corey Seager and third baseman Justin Turner both lead the team with a .307 batting average. Seager was named World Series MVP.

The Dodgers starter is Clayton Kershaw. The three-time Cy Young Award winner went 6-2 with a 2.16 ERA last season, and his 24-8 record against the Rockies is tied for his most wins. Kershaw also has 24 wins over the Giants. Opposing the Rockies is German Marquez, who has been in great form this season. The 26-year-old right-hander went 4-6 last year with a 3.75 ERA in 13 starts.

For eight seasons, Rockies fans marveled at Gold Glove third baseman Nolan Arenado, but now that run is over. The 29-year-old was traded to the Cardinals on February 1. The hot corner will now be Josh Fuentes, who batted .333 in the spring and happens to be Arenado's cousin.

The Dodgers enter Thursday as 1.5-run favorites. The over/under is 11.5.
