Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
Miller wasn’t good last season, and there were questions whether he was going to get a shot with a big league club this year. He was solid in a handful of outings in Oklahoma City, but this is the big leagues now, baby, so who knows what to expect? What we do know is the Rockies are making a case for one of the worst teams in baseball, and there’s no way you can back them with confidence. Also, if Miller does struggle, the Dodgers have the offensive firepower to back him up. I don’t care who is on the other side, I’m fading the Rockies. Of course, give me the RL to shave down the juice.
