#910 ASA PLAY ON 8* Run Line: Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 runs (-135) over Colorado Rockies, Saturday at 9:10 PM ET - The Dodgers are heating up again and delivering a big run since the calendar turned the page to August. The Dodgers are a team that is once again stacked this season. Los Angeles has won 6 straight games and 10 of 11 and 56 of the Dodgers 69 wins this season were by a multi-run margin. The Rockies are the only team in the N.L. this season that has less than 24 road wins on the year. Not only is Colorado 20-41 on the road this season, the Rockies have lost 11 of their last 16 games and 56 of the 71 Colorado defeats were by a multi-run margin this season. Now a Rockies lineup that struggles away from home has to face Tony Gonsolin. Though he is off a tough outing in his most recent start, he had allowed only 16 hits in 20 innings over his last 4 starts leading into that one. Gonsolin is a combined 33-10 with a 3.00 ERA in his career and has held hitters to a .192 batting average in his career. Colorado has been held to 2 or less runs in 5 of their last 7 games on this road trip. The Dodgers have scored an average of 7 runs per game in the 10 wins in their current run of 10-1 last 11 games! The Rockies are expected to start Peter Lambert here. He is 5-10 with a 6.80 ERA at the MLB level in his career. Lambert has been rocked in both of his August starts and Colorado's bullpen is one of the worst in the majors for team ERA and WHIP. As you can see above, all the key edges are with the home team in this one and we are grabbing them on the run line. Blowout alert! Bet the Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5 runs in late night action Saturday.
