Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers here. I get the case to be made for a huge underdog like the Rockies, but Colorado just isn’t the same team when you take them out of Coors Field. The offense has been absolutely dead over the last week. Dustin May has really solid stuff, and Senzatela was bound to get lit up with how many hard hits he’s allowed up to this point in the year. I think the Dodgers get to him as well here, so give me the Dodgers big.
