Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but this is just a case of two starting pitchers I don’t trust and two offenses that can put runs on the board in a hitter-friendly ballpark. I think this is going to be a high-scoring affair, so give me the over.
