Season Series: Dodgers Lead 5-2

The Rockies were coming off a 4-2 homestand, but lost Wednesday’s game 9-4 to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Relatively unknown outside fantasy baseball circles, SS Ezequiel Tovar is in the midst of a breakthrough year with a .266 batting average, 25 home runs and 72 RBIs.

The Dodgers entertained themselves on Thursday with a 20-4 victory over the Miami Marlins. DH Shohei Ohtani went 6-for-6 with 3 homers, 10 RBIs and 2 stolen bases in a holy bleep moment. He became the first baseball player to have 50 homers and 50 steals in a single season.

Rockies at Dodgers Picks and Predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Rockies 4

Moneyline

There is no game here. Could there be some sort of hangover effect after the Dodgers scored 20 runs? Sure. I haven’t had enough alcohol to recommend Colorado here, though.

Run line/Against the spread

BetMGM has a BOOSTED offer for Ohtani to hit a home run or steal a base at +175. Ohtani is 2-for-3 with a lifetime home run against Freeland.

To take SHOHEI OHTANI 1+ HOME RUNS OR 1+ STOLEN BASES (+175).

Over/Under

It’s going to be a 67 degree night with a 9 mph wind blowing right down the middle. The Under is actually 4-3 going into this game this season, but with the wind blowing and the Dodgers bats on fire, take the MORE THAN 9 (-120).
