Dodgers vs Rockies Prediction
The Dodgers will continue their winning ways and take another game against the Rockies in a contest that will feature a Tommy Edman home run. Feltner has already given up a pair of dingers through three starts this season, and Edman is due to hit one out of the park.
Shohei Ohtani only had one hit in the previous series against the Chicago Cubs, but bounced back with three hits against the Rockies, including a third-inning long ball. He will bring in at least two runs on Tuesday night along with a stolen base.
