The Story
The Los Angeles Dodgers handled the Colorado Rockies convincingly at Dodger Stadium on April 3, 2023, winning 13-4 in a game that was not particularly close by its final stages. The DiamondIQ model opened with a 54 percent pre-game home win probability for Los Angeles and closed at 100 percent, a reflection of how thoroughly the Dodgers controlled the contest once they seized the lead.
The pivotal sequence came in the bottom of the fifth inning, where Los Angeles sent seven runs across the plate against Jake Bird in a frame that functionally decided the outcome. James Outman delivered the most impactful single play of the game, a triple off Bird that swung win probability by 24.5 points in the Dodgers' favor. J.D. Martinez followed with a single that added another 19.5 points of win probability, compounding the damage. The Rockies had briefly generated some counter-pressure in the top of that same inning, as Harold Castro's single off Michael Grove shifted the win probability 17.7 points toward Colorado, but the Dodgers answered emphatically. Chris Taylor had also given Los Angeles an early foothold with a home run off Ryan Feltner in the bottom of the third, a swing worth 16.2 points of win probability.
Among the game's top performers by the DiamondIQ model's estimate, Outman led all position players with a WPA of plus 21.3 and an RE24 of plus 2.5, while Martinez contributed plus 15.8 WPA and plus 2.0 RE24. Harold Castro was the standout on the Colorado side, posting plus 14.2 WPA despite the lopsided result. On the pitching side, Phil Bickford led Dodgers relievers with a WPA of plus 3.3 as Los Angeles preserved the margin through a clean final four innings.
