Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
While the Dodgers have lost Ohtani’s last three starts, he’s going deeper into games and has pitched well for the most part over the last two months. Gordon has a 7.98 ERA and 1.80 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 28 hits and 20 runs in his last 12.1 innings. There’s just no getting behind Gordon and these numbers. Even with the Rockies winning this week and the Dodgers being spotty, I have to side with LAD on the road. Of course, I lay the RL to shave down the price.
