Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
Sugano has been respectable this season, especially on the road, but he’s having a shaky month where he’s allowed 23 hits and 13 runs in 22 innings. Ohtani has been unhitable with a 0.73 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. The Rockies just aren’t the sort of team I’m going to step in front of the Dodgers for. This is a spot where I’ll consider an alternate line to lower the price where it’s worth the bet. Give me the Dodgers -2.5 or even higher.
