Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction

I’m on the over here. I think the Dodgers can keep swinging a hot bat against Quintana who for me isn’t a needle mover in this Rockies rotation, but the Rockies’ offense has woken up at home over the last couple of games and I think they get to Wrobleski here to help get us up and over this total. Give me the over.
