Dodgers at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Rockies 4

Moneyline

PASSAGE.

The Dodgers (-190) are trying to capture the top seed in the playoffs. They will win this game against the much inferior Rockies.

Run line/Against the spread

BET DEVELOPERS -1.5 (-130).

The Dodgers are battling the Phillies for the top seed in the playoffs, and with just a one-game lead, every win counts. They want to maintain home field advantage, and the Rockies aren’t exactly standing in their way.

LA has dominated the Rockies this season and Quantrill has struggled a lot. He is 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in his 3 starts against the Dodgers. With Colorado left with nothing to play for, this feels like an easy place for the Dodgers to take cover.

Top/Bottom

PASSAGE.

It’s probably best not to bet on the total. Sure, 11.5 runs at Coors Field makes sense considering the altitude, but that’s still a pretty high number. The Under has cashed five times in the last ten meetings, so it’s not a guaranteed slugfest.

The Dodgers should have no problem scoring on Quantrill, but I don’t have much confidence that the Rockies will contribute enough to reach that total. I would play it safe and stick to the run line rather than take a chance on the Over/Under.
