UNDER Has Been Cashing in Rockies’ Playoff Chase

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ place in the postseason is locked up, but the Colorado Rockies still have plenty to play for with the playoffs on the horizon. The NL clubs will do battle on the diamond Friday.

Sportsbook opened the Dodgers as -108 road favorites with a total of 12.

Shark Bites
  • The total has gone OVER in the Dodgers’ last five games against the Rockies.
  • The Dodgers are 4-10 SU in their last 14 games on the road with Hyun-Jin Ryu as the starting pitcher.
  • The total has gone OVER in five of the Dodgers’ last seven games on the road against teams with winning records.

Hyun-Jin Ryu and Chad Bettis will get the start for the Dodgers and Rockies, respectively. Ryu (5-8, 3.47 ERA) has been electric of late, allowing one or no runs in seven of his last nine appearances. Ryu suffered through his worst outing of the season against Colorado on May 11, however, when he was rocked for 10 runs on eight hits and six walks in four innings.

Bettis (1-4, 5.72) hasn’t made it past the six-inning mark in any of his last six starts and has dropped his previous two. The hurler’s lone win of the season came at Los Angeles on September 9, when he held the Dodgers to four runs on six hits while fanning five in as many innings.

The UNDER continues to be a profitable play in Rockies contests. In Colorado’s last 10, the UNDER is 8-2.
