AT 8:40 ET, my Cakewalk selection is on the LA Dodgers. Because they are on the road and because Paxton is pitching, we get the Dodgers at a playable price. The Dodgers are still much better on the road than the Rockies are at home. Also, Paxton was excellent in his last start and is 6-1 in 12 starts, the Dodgers winning 9 of them. Quantrill has a 1-4 record with a terrible ERA of 7.89 in 5 appearances versus the Dodgers in his career.

The Dodgers have edges in every other area. They're much better at hitting and their bullpen dominates a terrible Colorado bullpen. Colorado is off a loss, its third in 4 games. The Rockies are now 24-46 their last 70 games played in June. The Dodgers are 24-12 their last 36 tries, off a shutout win. Play on LA.
