COLORADO ROCKIES VS. LOS ANGELES DODGERS PREDICTIONS
PICKS
LA Dodgers Win -1.5 Run Line
-125
Over Game Totals
-110
Run Line Pick
The Rockies started strong but for the last two to three weeks consistency has eluded them, mostly because their pitching has been failing. The offense has not been great either as the uber consistent Nolan Arenado has yet to find his stride. If the Rockies are going to push into the playoffs they need their ace German Marquez. He has not been good for about a month but his splits don’t lie – he has a 2.66 ERA on the road and an ever over seven at home. Though it is questionable how much that will matter taking on one of the best lineups in the majors in L.A. He has not faced the Dodgers this season. The Dodgers are going to counter with Tony Gonsolin, a promising young arm that enabled them to deal the homer prone Ross Stripling. Gonsolin might not have the ceiling of guys like Julio Urias or Dustin May but his 0.51 ERA plays fine just fine in front of the Dodgers, who are second in scoring and first in homers. He can just go out and pitch. He should have success against Colorado. Take the Dodgers on the run line.★★★
Game Totals Pick
Gonsolin has put up some very good numbers but that ERA is going to rise after this one. It is not that he is going to get rocked but it has nowhere to go but up unless he is perfect. Marquez can and will be better but he is not going to find his game in this one and start spitting out shutouts. Both teams are going to get at least three runs each off of the starters. Add in more for the Dodgers off a subpar Colorado ‘pen and the over is the call here. Take the over.**
