Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
I’m always looking for chances to fade the Dodgers and these inflated lines, but we’re just not getting them right now. The Rockies are awful, and a 6.91 ERA and 1.81 WHIP from Lorenzen spell disaster for the road team. Wrobleski looks like an all-star with a 2.80 ERA and 1.01 WHIP through 93.1 innings. He’s even better at home through 39.2 innings with a 2.50 ERA and a .151 allowed batting average. There’s just nowhere to go in this spot other than to side with the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
