Best MLB Dodgers-Rockies Betting Pick & Prediction: Max Muncy Gets Air
Dodgers-Rockies Odds
Odds via FanDuel Sportsbook
Dodgers: -215 | Rockies: +180
Over 11.5: -120 | Under 11.5: -102
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the first game of this series against Colorado behind the power of J.D. Martinez. The veteran OF smacked two home runs, accounting for three of the team’s RBIs. That was all they needed with Clayton Kershaw on the mound. Kershaw was him dominant self, blanking the Rockies over six innings.
Wednesday night’s game went a lot differently. The offense was the story for Los Angeles, as they got out to a big lead over the Rockies halfway through the game. Down 4-0 through three innings, the Dodgers posted six runs in the top of the 4th inning. But this time their pitching couldn’t come through. Michael Grove gave way to a bullpen that surrendered five runs, and the Rockies finished the game with an 8-9 victory over the Dodgers.
The two teams will meet for a series rubber match on Thursday night. This time, the Dodgers will hope their offense and pitching can both turn it on at the same time. One thing that might help is the return of IF Max Muncy, who has been on the Injured List for several weeks. While most of the industry is aware of Muncy’s prodigious power, his MLB prop bet on home runs is still be underpriced.
Bettors can pick up this Dodgers-Rockies MLB prop for Max Muncy to home run at +330. OddsShopper’s model has the true odds of this bet coming through at +313, leaving a 4% positive expected value. The bet wins about 24% of the time, so you won’t want to break the bank. Using the Kelly Criterion method for proper staking, this one should warrant wagering 0.5% of your bank roll for sustainable growth.
