Shane’s Free Pick

Sheehan has been dominant his last couple of appearances and even at Coors Field I expect that is going to continue here. Davis has been dominated all season and hes going to really struggle again in this game. Look for the Rockies to only score one or two runs and that is going to be the difference here. Back the Dodgers on the run line.
