Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. Interesting lefty-lefty matchup here, but both teams have been smacking left-handed pitching in recent weeks and I think this is another spot where that can come to fruition. Lauer has not been a trustworthy starting option in my eyes, and Freeland’s been batting practice for the better part of the season. I think this ends up being high-scoring, so give me the over in this one.
