Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction

This is another spot where you can make a case for the Rockies and the big plus money. Sheehan hasn’t been sharp through 15 frames with a 6.60 ERA and 1.47 WHIP. However, the Dodgers keep winning regardless. I also don’t trust Feltner and his 7.30 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 12.1 innings. This Dodgers lineup at Coors should be drooling. I gave the Rockies a look yesterday and it didn’t work. That’s enough for me. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
