1 Picks.

8:40PM EST: Rockies ML +150 (4 Units).

LAD SP James Paxton has a 4.06 ERA but an xERA 5.06 on the season. He has a 5.23 era in 7 road starts this year and has really labored as the weather's heat up. He's allowed 11ER in his last 3 road starts combined over just 9.1 IP. Despite an 11 year MLB career he's never gone into Denver to pitch at Coors Field either. His 1.41 WHIP is one of the worst marks in his career and when he struggles he lets up the long ball. Ball travels in the thin Denver air and its 95°+ with 15MPH winds blowing out tonight. The Rockies offense has had some big performances lately, scoring 16 and 9 runs in 2 of their last 4 games.

COL SP Cal Quantrill's fired back with 2 shutout performances after struggling against these Dodgers in LA. Those struggles stemmed from an inability to locate anything other than his fastball. He's been sharp at Home and of late and we trust he'll be much sharper than the last time LA saw him. He's allowed 2ER or less in 9 of his last 10 starts in the states and has allowed just 6 ER combined in his 4 starts at Coors Field. He held Philly to 2 runs on 3 hits and a pair of walks over 6IP in his last Home Start. The Dodgers offense hasn't scored more than than 4 runs and just 12 runs combined over their last 5 games.
