Rockies 6, Dodgers 5

The Dodgers have won 9 straight meetings vs. the Rockies. They are 24-8 against sub-.500 teams, while the Rockies are an abysmal 8-31 at Coors Field this season.

However, the Rockies have gone 4 straight series without being swept, while the Dodgers have not completed a sweep since taking all 3 games of their home series against the Miami Marlins April 28-30.

Kershaw has pitched more than 5 innings only once this season, and the Dodgers’ bullpen is 21st in ERA at 4.27.

BET ROCKIES (+230).

The Dodgers are just 9-14 ATS as road favorites this season, but the Rockies haven’t fared much better, going 12-26 ATS as home underdogs. Still, 9 of Colorado’s recent covers were outright wins. Given their tendency to avoid sweeps and LA’s struggles finishing them, there’s value in skipping the run line and swinging for the moneyline payout.

PASS.

Three of the 5 meetings so far this season have not reached 12 total runs. Only 2 of the Rockies’ last 7 games have reached 12 total runs. Of their 18 last home games, 10 have not reached 12 runs.

BET UNDER 12 (-105).
