BETTING TRENDS

LA Dodgers are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games against Colorado.

LA Dodgers are 16-3 SU in their last 19 games against an opponent in the National League.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Colorado's last 6 games at home.

Colorado Rockies are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the National League.

Prediction

The Dodgers continue to dominate the Rockies and have beat them 6 straight times now. Clayton Kershaw will start for the Dodgers who has had his up and downs and was pounded by the Rockies with 6 runs earlier this season. The Rockies will send Kyle Freeland to the mound who's coming from a great start against the Brewers where he pitched 7 scoreless innings but he has struggled this season vs Dodgers. Expect a high scoring game as both offenses should get some runs from these starters. Take the over.

PICK: Over 11 (-110)
