The 5-2 Dodgers are starting to hit better and are winning a few games. The Rockies are struggling at 3-7. The Rockies Anderson had a surprisingly strong May, but based on his track record, you had to believe that it wasn't going to last. Sure enough in his last two starts, he tumbled down the stairs, giving up 16 runs in 5+ innings. He has allowed 10 dingers this month, not a good look for a Rockies pitcher. The Colorado bullpen has been very poor (7.00 ERA) lately, so don't look for solace there.

One thing the Dodgers can do is hit the long ball. They will start rookie Sheehan, who has started his career in a very positive way. It is a small sample size so far but we will see how he fares in Coors Field today. The Dodgers' bull pen is not the dominant one of old, but at leAst is better than the Rockies'. I'm wagering on Sheehan and the long ball today. Take the Dodgers to win on the run line at - 1 1/2.
