Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are 7-1 in their last 8 meetings against the Rockies and 3-1 in their last 4 meetings in LA. Over is 6-3-1 in their last 10 meetings.
In this Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction, the Dodgers are coming as -315 home favorites. The Dodgers are rightfully favored, as they are the far better team this season, but there is no value on the moneyline, and not even on the runline, as it is priced at -140. Knack looked terrible in his first start of the season, and Feltner looks sharp so far, so I like the Rockies to keep this one close while both pitchers are on the mound. Take the Colorado Rockies by +1.5 runs in the first 5 innings at -128.
