Money line (ML)
The Dodgers (-275) will cost you nearly three times your potential return, and that’s not a good strategy betting heavy money lines over the long haul. While they cashed easily in Tuesday’s 7-0 win, eventually you’ll get stung.
Even though L.A. has won four in a row, and nine of its past 10, PASS.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)
The DODGERS -2.5 (+120) are worth a small-unit play on the alternate run line again Wednesday. It’s rare to see 2.5-run lines, let alone bet it and cash, but it happened Tuesday.
They have won by 3 or more runs in each of their past three games, so take a chance again on L.A. on Hump Day.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 8 (-105) is the play in this one. The Under cashed Tuesday, as the Rockies were blanked, and the Under has hit in five of the past six games for the Dodgers.
The Under is also 4-0 in each of Colorado’s four road outings this season, and six in a row overall.
