BETTING TRENDS
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Los Angeles Dodgers' last 12 games when playing on the road against Colorado.
Los Angeles Dodgers are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against an opponent in the National League West Division division.
The total has gone UNDER in 9 of Colorado Rockies last 12 games against Los Angeles Dodgers.
Colorado Rockies are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at home.
Prediction
The Dodgers offense was shut down by Chad Khul who held them to zero runs and pitched his first complete game of his career but don't expect that to happen again as the Rockies will send Kyle Freeland who was pounded with 5 runs in 3.2 innings by the Dodgers earlier this season. Los Angeles will send Clayton Kershaw for this game who has allowed only 2 runs in his last 11 innings pitched and is 24-9 against the Rockies in his career. Expect the Dodgers to bounce back for this game as they should get Freeland early in the game. Take Los Angeles to win and cover the run line.
PICK: Dodgers -1.5 (-140)
