Dodgers vs Rockies: Betting Odds and Predictions For Friday Night’s Game
Kimbrel has sucked all year. And he still sucks. Fortunately the Dodgers had a 3 run lead against the Rockies and were able to survive Kimbrel surrendering two runs in the 9th. Just let Phillips close. Or Almonte. Or anyone else. Except Bickford.
