Chris’ Pick

I’m sticking with the Dodgers in this one. It’s not a pitching matchup I love by any stretch, but I just think the Dodgers are heads and shoulders ahead of the Rockies who are just playing out the string, not even interested in playing spoiler, and as long as the Dodgers can mathematically catch the Braves for the best record in the National League, they’re going to keep pushing ahead. I’ll side with the Dodgers -1.5 here.
