Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
The Rockies are looking more and more like the team we expected to see from the start and this isn’t a series where they turn things around. Gordon has a 6.59 ERA and 1.50 WHIP through 27.1 innings. Close your eyes, folks. Sheehan has been hit this month, but he’s been at his best through 26.1 home innings where he has a 3.76 ERA and .219 allowed batting average. Sheehan has also owned the Rockies in his career, and that includes allowing a .205 allowed batting average with 16 strikeouts in 39 at bats against current hitters. I have to roll with the Dodgers and I’ll take the RL to shave down the price.
