Three of my cohorts took the Dodgers on the runline, which makes plenty of sense, but I'll take a shot on the Under. L.A. is sitting three lineup regulars in Will Smith, Chris Taylor and AJ Pollock and of course remains without former NL MVP Cody Bellinger, who is on the IL. Dustin May (1-0, 0.00) is a terrific young pitcher, but perhaps the Rockies' Jon Gray (1-0, 1.54) has finally figured things out. There's a reason he was the No. 3 overall pick in the 2013 draft -- one spot after Kris Bryant. Gray has not been good in his career at Dodger Stadium but was very good vs. L.A. in Denver on April 3. Both pitchers could throw seven shutout innings. Colorado has just four total runs in its past four games.
Jon Gray has been good this season but those two starts were at home, and we know he is probably the one pitcher who pitches well at Coors Field. The Rockies are 0-4 on the road, 2-8 in their last 10 game. The Dodgers have won four straight and nine of their last 10 games. Take the Dodgers tonight.
The Rockies have scored just four runs in as many road games this season and have been shut out in consecutive contests. That spells enormous trouble for them on Wednesday against a Dodgers pitching staff that has blanked opponents in three of the team's last four games. Take Los Angeles -1.5 runs at -125, as its bats are very familiar with Colorado RHP Jon Gray.
The Dodgers won the opener 7-0 and I think they keep pouring it on here. Dustin May owns a 2.31 career ERA versus the Rockies. Jon Gray has been outstanding so far for the Rockies, but he's 1-5 with a 6.84 ERA in six career starts at Dodger Stadium. Seven of the Dodgers' nine wins have come by at least two runs. Play the Dodgers -1.5 runs at -125.
