Dodgers have one week to prove they're better than Rockies

Let's get right to it: The Los Angeles Dodgers are a better team than the Colorado Rockies. This isn't really a matter of debate, although I'm guessing more than a few Rockies fans will disagree with that statement.

The Dodgers have outscored the Rockies by 39 runs. That never happens. Or almost never. Since the Rockies joined the National League West in 1993, they've outscored the Dodgers every season except one -- in 2006, the Dodgers outscored the Rockies 820-813. Of course, that's a function of altitude as much as the quality of the offenses, but the fact that the Dodgers are outscoring the Rockies tells us they clearly have the superior offense in 2018.
