Dodgers at Rockies tips and predictions

forecast

Dodgers 8, Rockies 4

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Dodgers (-190) are trying to secure the top seed in the playoffs. They will win this game against the vastly inferior Rockies.

Running Line/Against the Spread

Betting cheats -1.5 (-130).

The Dodgers are battling the Phillies for the top spot in the playoffs, and with just a one-game lead, every win counts. They want to secure home-court advantage, and the Rockies aren’t exactly standing in their way.

LA has dominated the Rockies this season and Quantrill has had a lot of trouble against it. He is 0-2 with a 6.43 ERA in his 3 starts against the Dodgers. With Colorado having nothing left to play for, this seems like an easy spot for the Dodgers to cover.

Over/Under

HAPPEN.

It’s probably best to refrain from betting the total amount. Sure, 11.5 runs at Coors Field makes sense given the altitude, but that’s still a pretty high number. The Under has actually cashed five times in the last 10 meetings, so it’s not a guaranteed slugfest.

The Dodgers should have no problem scoring Quantrill, but I’m not confident the Rockies will contribute enough to reach that total. I would play it safe and stick with the run line instead of taking a risk on the over/under.
