Dodgers at Rockies tips and predictions

forecast

Dodgers 9, Rockies 3

Money line

HAPPEN.

The Dodgers (-250) need to keep winning to secure the top spot in the playoffs. They’ll win their fourth game in a row, but I’ll put them on the run line with better odds.

Running Line/Against the Spread

Betting cheats -2.5 (-120).

LA holds a two-game lead over the Phillies, but with Philly owning the tiebreaker, the Dodgers need to maintain their momentum and finish the season strong. They have dominated the Rockies this year, winning 8 of the 11 meetings and outscoring them 66-48. Additionally, Yamamoto has been absolutely brilliant on the road with an ERA under 2, which should bode well for this matchup.

On the other hand, Senzatela is still shaking off the rust as this will be only his third start since returning from a long injury layoff. With the Dodgers needing every win they can get and the Rockies struggling to keep up, expect LA to be aggressive and cover the spread comfortably.

Over/Under

BET OVER 11 (+100).

These two teams have a history of high scoring, with rollovers occurring in five of their last seven meetings. The Dodgers are strong on offense, going 7-2-1 against the over in their last 10 games, while the Rockies aren’t far behind at 5-1-2 in their last 8. Additionally, Yamamoto’s last three starts have also been successful the over, indicating plenty of action on both sides of the plate. Given these trends, expect another high-scoring game between two teams that know how to score runs.
