Rotation # 909-910
Dodgers/Rockies Over 11 runs (win)
Snell/Sugano
The Dodgers have an outstanding slugging percentage against right-handed starters, bad news for the Rockies and starter Tomoyuki Sugano. It’s also hard to trust the Rockies bullpen. The Dodgers are big favorites for a reason. Blake Snell looked like the old version of himself in his last start a week ago against the Royals after striking out ten batters, but he has only pitched nine innings this season after being on the shelf with an elbow injury. It’s hard to trust him fully at this price. The Rockies hit the ball well at home, and the Dodgers thrive on the road. Look for both teams to do enough to make it a high-scoring game at Coors Field. Take the Over.
