LA Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies Prediction
Walker Buehler at this price with the way he’s pitched this season is insane. However, Cal Quantrill hasn’t been lighting the world on fire. This is a spot where you just trust the better team to be the better team and find a way to win. The LA Dodgers are rolling offensively, and they’re fighting with the Phillies for the best record in baseball and home-field throughout. No reason for the Dodgers to slow down just yet. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
