Dodgers vs. Rockies Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. I don’t trust Quantrill in this matchup as he’s clearly had issues over the course of his career against the Dodgers, who are still putting their top guys out as they fight for home field throughout the playoffs. On the other side, the Rockies play their best at home and can get to this Dodgers pitching staff. Should be a fun one to close out the year, give me the over.
