Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
I’m on the over here. German Marquez has been batting practice for much of the season, and he was also cranked by the Dodgers in his two starts against them so far this season. On the other side, the Dodgers send out Emmet Sheehan who has given up his fair share of runs against the Rockies in his career, and I think the over cashes here. Give me the over.
