The first game of the Freeway Series did not go well for Dodgers as they were spanked 5-0 moving the mark to 7-16 the past twenty-three encounters with Halos (8-15 O/U). According to the current betting odds, Los Angeles is a -$2.40 home favorite. That whopping nod by the oddsmaker is due to the success of the LA starter. That pitcher is Clayton Kershaw, with the left-hander sporting a 13-2 record, miniscule 1.71 ERA and who is undefeated in eleven trips to the hill. The Dodgers' have not only flourished in the month of August with Kershaw (13-5), they're on a sparkling 6-0 stretch when he pitches in front of the friendly crowd at Dodger Stadium, a smart 7-3 in his last ten home starts following a team loss the previous effort. Kershaw matches pitches with Halos' left-hander Hector Santiago, carrying a 3-7 record, 3.76 ERA over 14 starts, 5 relief appearances. Although, Halos are 0-5 in their last 5 road games facing a lefty, 5-9 recently away vs a winning team, Dodgers 6-2 last 8 at home vs a winning team a pricey home favorite in baseball betting is always risky, so a run line (1 1/2, -$1.05) is the safest choice here.
Great line value backing the Reds behind Johnny Cueto tonight in Cleveland, as the Reds look to bounce back after being shut down by Cleveland ace Corey Kluber last night. The Indians won that game 7-1 - scoring early and never letting the Reds into the game. Tonight, however, it's the Reds that have the red hot pitcher on the mound and we can't pass up Cincy at this price.
Cueto comes in with a fantastic 2.15 ERA and even more impressive is his 0.910 WHIP through 23 starts. And it's not like he's slowing down at all, holding opponents to 3 earned runs or less in each of his last ten starts. Cleveland's Josh Tomlin threw a complete-game, one-hit shutout back in late June, but the Indians have lost his next four starts since. 5* Play on Cincinnati.
Detroit(61-48) vs. New York Yankees(58-53). D.Price(11-8) ERA 3.11 vs. H.Kuroda(7-7) ERA 3.98. The Tigers are looking forward to Price's 1st starts as he his 10-5 in his career against the Yankees while the 39 year old Kuroda is beginning his 2nd half of the season decline. The Yankees are 1-4 last 5 Kuroda starts as an underdog and 3-7 last 10 games against left handers. Miguel Cabrera is 4 for 9 with 2 dingers against Kuroda. Detroit is a 8 Unit Play!
8* Washington Nationals -155
8* Boston Red Sox +140
7* Under 7.5 -120 Kansas City Royals/Arizona Diamondbacks
