Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I think that the Rockies can get some runs off of Glasnow who is making his Coors Field debut as a starter here, while the Dodgers can get to Sugano who I think is pitching a little bit over his skis right now and is due to get roughed up. All in all, I think this ends up being high-scoring so give me the over here.
