Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the under in this one. I just think that Blake Snell dominates this current Rockies lineup, as he has in the past with three straight double-digit strikeout performances against Colorado. On the other side, I think Freeland holds his own against the Dodgers as he has at times in the past and I think that the under is in play here. Give me the under here.
