Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction
The Rockies are one of the worst teams in baseball history, while the Dodgers are favored to win it all. The line speaks for itself. With that said, the Dodgers have been shaky over the last month or so, while the Rockies have won four straight games and six of their last seven overall. I’m also not laying this price with Sheehan on the road, as he has less than 100 career MLB innings.
Gomber has been a disaster, but the Rockies are getting better results over the last week, and it’s Coors Field, baby where weird things happen. I’ll take a shot in the dark with the Rockies.
