BETTING TRENDS

LA Dodgers are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against Colorado.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of LA Dodgers' last 6 games played on a Friday.

Colorado are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games against an opponent in the National League.

The total has gone OVER in 6 of Colorado's last 7 games played on a Friday.

Prediction

The Dodgers detroyed the Rockies on Thursday's game scoring 13 runs but things could change when they face Chad Khul who absolutely dominated them the last time and pitched a complete scoreless game. The Dodgers will send Julio Urias to the mound who has had 2 last great starts allowing only 1 run in 13 innings pitched and he dominated the Rockies the last time. Expect a closer game this time as both starters should be good on the mound. Take the under.

PICK: Under 11.5 (-110)
