Dodgers vs. Rockies Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. I just don’t think there’s a whole lot for me to really be excited about with the Rockies in this matchup and while the Dodgers have little to play for and should maybe focus on getting ready for the playoffs, it hasn’t slowed them down and I think they keep forging ahead for another win in this one. Give me the Dodgers.
