Shane’s Free Pick
This is going to be a blowout victory for the Dodgers in both games. The Rockies bats have been ice cold heading into this game and it’s not going to get any easier against the Dodgers pitchers. The Rockies are going to score less than six runs total between the two games and that is going to be the difference here. This is going to be easy victories by the Dodgers in each of the games. Back the Dodgers -1.5 to cash in Game 1 and Game 2.
