 Free MLB Picks - Rockies at Dodgers MLB Odds: It's a done deal that the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies will be in the National League playoffs. The question remaining is - which team will be a division winner and which one will get the wild card. That question could be answered Friday night when the NL West leaders, Dodgers, host the wild card leaders, Rockies, in the final regular season series of 2009 at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles (10:10 pm ET). If Los Angeles wins any of the remaining three games the Dodgers will win the division and Colorado will represent the wild card. The problem for LA, is they are amidst a four-games losing slump while Colorado is hot winning four straight and seven of their last 10. The projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers is Randy Wolf. The veteran left-hander is 11-6 on the year with a 3.22 ERA. Countering for Colorado is Ubaldo Jimenez. The Rocies ace right-hander has gone 14-12 during the regular season with a 3.52 ERA. MLB Picks oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com list the Dodgers as -107 moneyline favorites versus Colorado with a 7-run total. The Rockies are only slight -103 underdogs on the Sportsbook moneyline board. Wolf will probably get this start, which would put him in line to start Game 1 of the playoffs. Wolf pitched the club's postseason clincher in Pittsburgh and was in position to win after allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings, but the bullpen let it get away for his 16th no-decision. Still, he's been the most consistent starter on the staff this year and a workhorse with 209 1/3 innings. Last time out on Saturday Jimenez was the losing pitcher to the Cardinals in their division-clinching victory after giving up a solo homerun that proved to be the game winner. He struggled early, yielding three runs on two walks and two hits. He allowed four runs on six hits and three walks. Jimenez did find his control and retired 10 of 11 batters. The Rockies clinched a playoff berth with a 9-2 rout of the Brewers on Thursday, as -175 favorites. That game's 11 runs made it OVER the posted over/under (10). Garrett Atkins went 3-for-4 at the plate and drove in three runs to lead the way. Aaron Cook allowed just four hits and one run over eight innings for the win. The Dodgers were shut down 5-0 by the Padres last time out, as -120 favorites. The teams played UNDER the posted over/under (7.5). Jon Garland surrendered seven hits and five runs over 3 1-3 innings in the loss. Free MLB picks: Randy Wolf has been one of the more consistent pitchers on the Dodgers staff which is a good thing.
