Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers in this one. Sheehan hasn’t been great this year, but he’s flat out owned the Rockies in his career and the Dodgers behind him have owned the Rockies as a result. Feltner has stunk it up and I think the Rockies get crushed once again. Give me the Dodgers big here.
Chris Ruffolo's Pick: LA Dodgers -1.5
