Colorado Rockies vs LA Dodgers Prediction
Yoshinobu Yamamoto has been solid all year and has actually been at his best on the road. The LA Dodgers are a win away from clinching the top seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs, so the motivation is there. The Colorado Rockies have been counting the days until the offseason for months, and Antonio Senzatela has just 8 innings under his belt this season. Only one way to go here. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
