Kenny G said the Dodgers are worth laying heavy lumber on Wednesday, recommending either the -1.5 run line, a -2.5 alt line, or even swallowing the -305 moneyline. His confidence stems from Shohei Ohtani getting stretched out and "looking better and better" with longer outings, while Colorado counters with Tanner Gordon's 7.98 ERA and a recent 10-run, 12-hit disaster against Arizona. Kenny also hammered the Rockies' bullpen—one of the worst in MLB—and their league-worst 19-43 home record. Although the Dodgers' own pen has been shaky and their offense has produced a modest 11-3-5-6-3 run output across the last five games, he expects Ohtani to dominate and LA's lineup to break through against Gordon and Colorado’s relief corps. With all those edges aligning, Kenny called any Dodgers side play "very, very reasonable" and hinted it could become his lock of the day.

Calling it a potential "lock of the day," Kenny G is willing to pay –275 on Los Angeles. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (10-8, 2.84 ERA) gets a get-right spot after a rare stumble, having already stifled Colorado once this season. Kyle Freeland counters with a 5.18 ERA and a 3-12 record, and he hands off to one of MLB’s worst bullpens. The Rockies are just 19-43 at Coors and 35-89 overall, while the Dodgers lineup still ranks 2nd in runs scored. Kenny figures four or five LA runs will be enough and views the Dodgers as the team "most likely to win today regardless of price."

It’s The Final Round said he is betting on Shohei Ohtani to homer Monday in Denver. The play hinges on three angles: 1) Kyle Freeland owns a .348 batting-average-against at Coors Field and is surrendering a .276 mark to left-handed hitters overall; 2) Ohtani is red-hot, batting .304 over the last week with seven hits, three bombs, four RBI and eight runs; 3) the Colorado bullpen carries the worst ERA in baseball. Ohtani has tortured Freeland historically (4-for-6 with a single, double and two homers) and also went deep twice in his previous Coors series this season. Outlier’s model assigns an 84 % chance for a hit, 60 % for 2+ total bases and a 26 % chance to leave the yard. Because the basic hit line is heavily juiced, the tout prefers the home-run market (and notes the run prop is worth parlay consideration).
