Rockies vs. Dodgers Prediction and Odds for Wednesday, July 6 (Get the Brooms Out)
By Joe Summers
The 51-29 Los Angeles Dodgers gun for a sweep of the 35-46 Colorado Rockies tonight at 10:10 p.m. EST.
Mitch White gets the call for Los Angeles after compiling a 3.38 ERA in June. He's struggled at home but given up three or fewer runs in every start this year.
Colorado turns to Jose Urena making his first start of the season. He's been in the minors for a couple of months and amassed a 7.29 ERA over five outings.
Can Urena and the Rockies salvage a game in the series or will the Dodgers finish off the sweep behind White?

Rockies vs Dodgers Prediction and Pick
Jose Urena hasn't made a major league start since last season and every indication points to a disastrous performance today.
In five minor league starts this year, Urena gave up 17 runs in 21 innings. He's got one of the league's worst bullpens behind him and the Dodgers have already scored at least five runs in four of their last five games.
It's not as if Urena was any good in the majors last year either, too. Check out his MLB Statcast Pitching Profile from last season:
Mitch White hasn't been exceptional by any means for Los Angeles, but he's a heck of a lot better than that.
The Dodgers should win in a blowout, but I also like the over. Neither Urena nor White should pitch deep into the game, and with Urena's history the Dodgers may hit the over by themselves. In Urena's last seven MLB starts, the over is 5-2 and his team has been outscored by a combined score of 58-25.
Trust the home squad to complete the sweep at home in convincing fashion.
Pick: Dodgers -1.5 (-175) and Over 9.5 (+105)
