COL (25-46) +150 u11.5 (EVEN) +1.5 (-105)

Prediction:

The prediction for this game is that it will go over the total of 11.5 runs. Here’s why:

Coors Field is well-known for being a hitter-friendly park due to its high altitude, which leads to increased run production. Both teams have shown the ability to score runs, especially in favorable conditions.

The Dodgers, led by the power-hitting Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez, have a formidable offense that can exploit the conditions at Coors Field. James Paxton, while effective, has a higher ERA and WHIP, indicating he may allow some runs.

The Rockies, with key hitters like Ryan McMahon and Ezequiel Tovar, have also demonstrated their ability to score, particularly at home. Cal Quantrill's respectable numbers may still not be enough to contain the Dodgers' powerful lineup.

Given the offensive capabilities of both teams and the high-scoring environment of Coors Field, the game is expected to surpass the total of 11.5 runs.

Pick: Over 11.5 Runs
