Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Rockies 4
Moneyline
The Dodgers (-350) will cost you 3 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s way too much risk for not enough reward straight up.
Yamamoto has just 2 starts under his belt since returning from a 3-month absence due to a right rotator cuff strain.
PASS, as even including L.A. in a multi-leg parlay isn’t a recommended option.
Run line/Against the spread
The ROCKIES +2.5 (-115) are worth a look catching the runs. Colorado has been pesky down the stretch as we head to the final week.
The Dodgers -2.5 (-105) are a risk, as Yamamoto has just 8 IP under his belt in 2 starts since returning from injury. Both he and Senzatela aren’t likely to go very deep into the game.
Over/Under
OVER 8.5 (-105) is the lean, but go with a half-unit play at most.
We’re going with the trends for the Dodgers here, as the Over is 8-0-1 in the past 9 games, and 11-1-1 in the previous 13 contests.
The Over is 2-0-1 in the past 3 for the Rockies, while going 4-1-1 in the past 6 meetings with the Dodgers.
