Colorado Rockies at Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

In Tuesday’s NL West showdown between Colorado and Los Angeles, the Dodgers will be sending Julio Urias to the mound for his final start of the regular season. When Urias has faced the Rockies, the team won 3 out of their 4 games and covered the runline twice. I see Los Angeles running away with this matchup. I like the Dodgers on the runline.
