MLB Odds/Point Spread: Los Angeles Dodgers -300, Total Odds: 9
It will be difficult for Austin Gomber to maintain his recent form. I’m supporting the Dodgers to win and cover the run line in this game because they dominated the Southpaws in August (142 plate appearances) with a 1.034 OPS, 0.298 ISO, and 173 wRC+.
Against Gomber, the current Dodgers are 13 for 54 with a few doubles and home runs. The Rockies’ relievers also don’t inspire confidence with their inflated 6.10 ERA and 5.65 FIP in August (31 innings thrown). On the other hand, through 34 innings this month, the Dodgers’ bullpen has posted a 3.97 ERA and 5.56 FIP
