Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
The Dodgers are 10-1 in their last 11 meetings against the Rockies, and are 6-1 in their 7 meetings this season. Under is 5-2 in their last 7 meetings.
In this Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as -275 road favorites. The Rockies are on their best stretch of the season, and the Dodgers managed to lose after sweeping the Padres and claiming the first place of the NL West. Dodgers lost with Yamamoto on the mound, so I surely don’t trust Sheehan to get them back on track. Sheehan has been weaker on the road, and he is coming into this matchup in poor form, with a 5.09 ERA across his last 5 starts. Gomber has been terrible for the Rockies and in poor form lately, but in his only start against the Dodgers this season, he gave up only one run, and that gives me enough confidence to take a stab with the huge home underdog in this matchup. Take the Colorado Rockies at big plus money in this one.
