MLB Betting Trends
Colorado
The Rockies are 17-37 in their last 54 road games. Colorado is 2-11 in the last 13 Lambert starts.
Los Angeles
The Dodgers are 2-5 in their last seven Monday games. Los Angeles is 5-0 in the last five Buehler starts versus the Rockies.
Prediction:
Los Angeles has dominated all season at home and Colorado is in a big rut currently with a poor rookie pitcher on the mound. Good luck against Buehler, Rockies. You’re going to need it. I’m betting on LA with the runline.
