As for their time as the underdog, they are 26-48.</p><p>The Rockies have been a good bet against the run line this season, going 36-38, including 17-19 at home. They have been underdogs in every game, so they are 36-38 against the run line as the underdog. Their average run margin is -1.6 runs per game, but they have been outscored by just 1.1 runs per game at home.</p><p>The Rockies have played 73 games this season, and only three of them have had an over/under line of 12 runs. Their over/under record for the season is 39-34, and their games have averaged 10.2 runs per game. Their games have had an average over/under line of 9 runs, and their current over streak is at three games.</p><p>Left-hander Ty Blach gets the start for the Rockies today as he faces the Dodgers at home. Blach has made 11 appearances this season and has a record of 3-4 with a 4.65 ERA. In his eight starts, he has a batting average allowed of .315 and has turned in two quality starts. Blach's ERA at home is 3.46, compared to 8.4 on the road. In his most recent outing, he went 5 2/3 innings, giving up two earned runs, and got the win. Before that, he had lost three straight starts.</p><p>Colorado's offense is averaging 4.3 runs per game this season, which is 16th in the league. They have been a much better offensive team at home, averaging 4.9 runs per contest. As a team, they are batting .250, which is 7th in the MLB, and have the league's 2nd best BABIP at .32. One area they have struggled in is home runs, as their 66 homers is just 16th in the league.</p>

<p>Ryan McMahon is the Rockies' top power threat this season, as his 12 homers is 11th in the league and leads the team. He also has 39 RBIs, which is the best mark on the team. McMahon is also on a four-game hitting streak and has gone 11/37 in his last nine games. Ezequiel Tovar is also a player to watch, as he is hitting .281 for the season and has 11 homers.</p>

Los Angeles Dodgers vs Colorado Rockies Betting Pick & Prediction 6/20/24

<p>BetOnline customers have heard a bit about <strong>Zach Johnson</strong> lately. Not necessarily because of what he's been able to do on the golf course, but what's going to happen with him OFF the course.</p>



<p>You see,Johnson is the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team that is going to compete against the European team in 2023. And with all of the disruption that has been experienced in the game of golf of late with the LIV Tour, the speculation is that Johnson will be forbidden from including any of the players who have played in a LIV event, as they have caught suspensions from the PGA Tour.</p>



<p>This week, however, there is another subject that applies to him. Johnson is a past winner of the British Open, and as such, he is automatically invited back to the tournament every year until he is 60 years old.</p>



<p>And inasmuch as this year's big event (150th Anniversary) is taking place at St. Andrews in Scotland, it deserves mention that Johnson is the last player to win the Open on the Old Course.</p>



<p>So he has indeed tamed it once. Can he do it again, at least to the extent that it is relative to where his career is right now?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/"><img src="https://www.bangthebook.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Bitcoin-sportsbook-bonus-at-BetOnline.png" alt="" class="wp-image-704873"/></a></figure>



<p>I don;t know if we're harboring thoughts of Johnson actually winning the tournament, but could he surprise with a good showing. At <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/betonline/">BetOnline</a></strong>, he is priced at +750 to finish in the top 20.</p>



<p>Would that be the most surprising thing in the world?</p>



<p>In 2015, Johnson won the tournament in a playoff, which is conducted over a four-hole stretch by cumulative score. He beat out Louis Oosthuizen (the 2010 champ) and Marc Leishman to get there. He had fired 66 in the final round.</p>



<p>Johnson has indeed demonstrated some sizzling golf on occasion. He was the first player ever to shoot 60 in a round twice on the PGA Tour. And his St. Andrews win was no fluke, as he had won the 2007 Masters.</p>



<p>But after his glory at St. Andrews, things did not show an upward trajectory for Zach Johnson. He has not had any top ten finishes in the British Open. He has missed the cut in his last five majors.</p>



<p>He is ranked 283rd in the world right now, according to the OWGR. He had mentioned a couple of years ago that he was cutting down on his activity, because at age 44 (he's 46 now), he couldn't keep up the same workload. But it's not like he has withered away from inactivity; he has played in fifteen events in 2022. But Johnson has missed the cut in eight of those.</p>



<p>The consistency isn't there from the two-time major winner, although he's not been completely without moments. Two years ago he tied for eighth place at the U.S.Open. He had the same result in the 2021 Honda Classic. And he has had a couple of Top 20 results this year, tying for 14th in the American Express Classic and 13th at the Texas Open.</p>



<p>The general consensus is that in 2015, Johnson benefited from the fact that there were rainy and windy conditions at St. Andrews, which, truth be told, is what the course was built for. Some of the long hitters were taken out; Rory McIlroy was already out because of an ankle injury, and it was rare that the defending champion (which he was at the time) would not return the next year.</p>



<p>Things are expected to be relatively dry and calmer this year, which would not seem to play to Johnson's advantage. But if he was able to play well, he might just have a chance to cash that +750 ticket. It's not completely out of his reach.</p>



<p>But can he pay off at 33-1? This is the special prop for the past champion with the best score. You'll notice McIlroy and Tiger Woods in here:</p>



<p>Rory McIlroy +225<br>Jordan Spieth +350<br>Shane Lowry +400<br>Collin Morikawa +550<br>Louis Oosthuizen +850<br>Tiger Woods +1400<br>Padraig Harrington +2200<br>Francesco Molinari +2500<br>Stewart Cink +2500<br>Henrik Stenson +3000<br>Phil Mickelson +3300<br>Zach Johnson +3300</p>



<p><em>That special prop, and more, is available at <strong><a href="https://www.bangthebook.com/s/betonline/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BetOnline</a></strong>, where they take care of you very well with all kinds of wagering options on the British Open. No one covers golf like they do. And remember that they also offer plenty of ways to get into the action, because they accept virtually (pardon the pun) every kind of cryptocurrency you can imagine!</em></p>
