Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over here. The Dodgers have been smashing right-handed pitching this season on the road, so that combined with the hitter-friendly nature of Coors Field, I’m deeply concerned for Michael Lorenzen here. However, Sasaki hasn’t been sharp either this season, struggling with control in a big way, and this is his first Coors Field start which is always an interesting thing to navigate. I think runs are coming in the finale here so give me the over.
