Colorado Rockies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Pick
- Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers Run Line -1.5
Los Angeles enters this matchup with major advantages on both sides of the ball. The Dodgers have won four of their last five games while Colorado has dropped four of its last five contests.

Colorado has recently allowed 9 and 5 runs to Arizona, while Los Angeles recently scored 11 runs against Milwaukee. The Dodgers continue producing offense consistently with 274 runs scored and 68 home runs this season, while Colorado’s pitching struggles could create another high-scoring environment.
