DODGERS VS ROCKIES PREDICTION

The Rockies are starting to fall off the radar for making the playoffs but they still have a chance. This could be a series that gets their offense going again. The Rockies beat the Dodgers the previous 2 times they met in L.A. and they have banged up Urias quite a bit. The Dodgers are coming off a tough series against the Padres which they used all their resources to seal up a spot in the playoffs. Since they clinched a playoff spot this could also be a letdown spot for the Dodgers. The Bookie is rolling with the Rockies to get their offense together and pull off the upset win on their home field. The public is all over the Dodgers as usual and the Sharps are leaning towards the Rockies.
