Colorado Rockies vs LA Dodgers Prediction
I have no use for this game given the pitching situation. Walker Buehler hasn’t been his usual all star self, and he’s been rocked on the road through 12 innings. Austin Gomber has been hit or miss himself this season, and he’s been owned by the Dodgers throughout his career. At Coors and with the numbers these pitchers are spitting out, this feels like a high scoring game. Give me the over 12 runs in game 2 between the Dodgers and Rockies.
