Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
This price is very high for a pitcher in Snell with only 9 innings this season. However, the Dodgers are head and shoulders the better team here and should feast off Sugano. In fact, in 44 at-bats against the current Dodgers, Sugano is allowing a .341 batting average, a .356 on-base percentage, and 6 homers. Throw in Coors, and the Dodgers could put up a 20-piece. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
