Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction

This isn’t a great pitching matchup in Coors, but I’m still rolling with the Dodgers because they’re the better team that finds ways to win. The Rockies not so much. Also, as shaky as Lauer has been this season, Feltner has been even worse, with a 5.59 ERA and 1.48 WHIP through 87 innings. Feltner has a 5.62 ERA and a .251 allowed batting average at home. Give me the Dodgers, and I’ll lay the RL to shave down the price.
