My Best Bet for Colorado vs Los Angeles

Los Angeles -1.5

Ryu hasn’t had a start this year in which he’s allowed more than two runs and is looking to pick up his 11th quality start in a row. Meanwhile, we don’t quite know what Lambert really is as he came out of the gates hot with a terrific debut, but has declined over his two appearances since then, including getting shelled for eight runs on nine hits over just three innings his last time out vs the Padres. Lastly, the Dodgers have an MLB-best home record at a ridiculous 32-9.
