Randy’s Pick

The Rockies continue to pile up the losses, and they’re hard to back against good teams. Peter Lambert has a 5.57 ERA and 1.44 WHIP, and he’s been dominated in a short sample size against the Dodgers. The Dodgers are doing that thing again where they create distance in the division and start gearing up for a deep playoff run. Tony Gonsolin has been hit or miss this season, but he usually bounces back from a poor start, and he still has an above average offense to back him up. I don’t want much to do with the Rockies. If forced to pick this game, give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
