Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Rockies 4
Money line
The Dodgers are 22-5 in their last 27 games and the Rockies have lost 7 of their last 10.
There is a chance for a closer game than you might think, based on the pitching matchup because of both starters’ recent outings. However, only the Houston Astros have more than the Dodgers’ 32 road wins.
I expected the Dodgers to win, but the -190 line isn’t worth the action unless you include it in a parlay bet. PASS.

Run line/Against the spread
Of the Dodgers’ 67 wins this season, 59 have been by at least 2 runs. They are 59-41 ATS overall and 29-21 ATS on the road.
The Rockies are 7-5 ATS against the Dodgers this season and have covered the spread in 6 of their last 8 games.
But expect the Dodgers to bounce back from the loss.
Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-125).
Over/Under
Only 3 of the 12 games between the Dodgers and Rockies have had at last 12 runs. Only 2 of Gonsolin’s starts all season have had 12 or more runs.
Twelve of Marquez’ 19 starts have had 11 or fewer runs and so have 3 of his last 4.
Take UNDER 11.5 (-130).
