Colorado Rockies vs LA Dodgers Prediction
The Colorado Rockies aren't good, and Antonio Senzatela doesn't have the reps this season to believe he's going to quiet this Dodgers lineup. The LA Dodgers are still playing for a division title and can't afford to blow games like this. Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been strong in his rookie season and has looked good in his last handful of starts. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value, as I don't believe the Rockies can get another win in this series.
