Colorado Rockies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers prediction: Colorado Rockies +1.5

Watch the breakdown

The Pick

Colorado Rockies +1.5 (104)

Why It Works

Colorado Rockies +1.5 (104) is still the side because Kyle Freeland and Hunter Goodman give Colorado Rockies the cleaner path to the handful of moments that usually decide this kind of game. The supporting numbers: 800 hits vs. 808, 104 home runs vs. 122.

Hunter Goodman gives Colorado Rockies a real middle-of-the-order anchor with 51 RBIs and 27 home runs. If Kyle Freeland does his job, Colorado Rockies has the arm talent to keep this game on script after 68 strikeouts and 2 quality starts so far.

The season-long hit count is not lopsided enough to scare this off either (800 versus 808), especially if Colorado Rockies gets the better bullpen innings. There is enough power in the profile too, with 104 home runs on the board for Colorado Rockies.

Odds & Context

Colorado Rockies is 37-55 entering this matchup, while Los Angeles Dodgers is 60-32. The market has Colorado Rockies +1.5 (104) pregame.

Risk to Watch

A baseball moneyline can still flip on one ugly inning, one bullpen leak, or one cluster of extra-base contact. That is the part to watch even when the matchup still points to the right side.
