Rockies at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 6, Rockies 2
Moneyline
The Dodgers have dropped their last 3 games but are preparing for the postseason. Kershaw has been on the top of his game for the last month and beat the Rockies in the series opener, pitching 6 scoreless innings.
Gomber gets the start in the season finale after being sent to the bullpen in July.
Expect the Dodgers to lock in to be sharp for the playoffs, so PASS on the moneyline because there isn’t enough value there for any action.
Run line/Against the spread
Five of the Dodgers’ 10 wins over the Rockies this season have been by 3 runs or more.
Nine of the Rockies’ last 11 losses have been by at least 3 runs.
In each of Kershaw’s last 5 starts, the Dodgers have won by at least 3 runs.
Take the DODGERS -2.5 (+105).
Over/Under
Eight of Kershaw’s last 10 outings have had 8 or more runs, including the 10-1 win over the Rockies in the series opener.
The last 3 games — all Rockies wins — have had 7 or fewer runs, although 6 of their 7 previous games had 8 or more runs.
Take OVER 7.5 (-115).
