Best Bet - Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 (-140)
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Colorado,
Point Spread: -1.50 | -140.00 LA Dodgers (Away)
Result: Loss
Sure, the Rockies got the win in the opening game of this set, which had to be a bit of a surprise considering it was Chad Kuhl tossing a complete game three-hit shutout while needing only 102 pitches in the victory. That's usually bad news because the last thing you want to do is wake up a sleeping giant like the Dodgers. The pitching matchup works in favor of the Dodgers here as Clayton Kershaw has allowed two runs or less in seven of his eight starts on the year. Kyle Freeland was rocked in his lone start against the Rockies this season, giving up 5 runs in 3.2 innings of work. In his career, Freeland is just 3-8 with a 4.42 ERA in 17 starts against the Dodgers. After putting up a big fat goose egg in the opener, the Dodgers strike back with a vengeance to earn the victory here.
