The Los Angeles Dodgers have won eight straight games including five on the road, and they are a perfect 5-0 vs. these Colorado Rockies this season, so look for their success to continue here.

The Dodgers also fall into our Bullpen System, which should overcome the fact that starter has had some mediocre outings lately and has traditionally not pitched all that well in Colorado. Even with his recent struggles, Lowe still owns a 2.88 ERA and 1.28 WHIP for the season, numbers that most pitchers would kill for. More importantly, if the bullpen is needed to be called on early, the Dodgers rank fifth in the Major Leagues in bullpen ERA at 2.99.

Now granted, Aaron Cook has been the ace of the Colorado staff with five straight Quality Starts. However, he has not beaten the Dodgers in six starts against them over the last two years, as he is personally 0-4 with a 6.46 ERA against them during this time with the Rockies as a team losing the last five starts.

Finally, the Colorado bullpen has now slipped to 20th in baseball with a 4.14 ERA, meaning that the Dodgers would have the advantage if this becomes a battle of the pens late. Sports Handicapper: Alex Smart

Scott Kazmir the Tampa Bay Devil Rays ace is now back in the lineup, after suffering through some early season, elbow problems, and ready to start today , against the Boston Red Sox in Fenway. The big right hander led the AL in strike outs last year, with 239 and has pitched well in this series, in the recent past, recording a 82 SOs, in his L 62 2/3 innings of work and has garnered a stingy 2.78 ERA in 6 starts last year vs the BoSox. With him the hill here today, for the Drays Im willing to recommend taking a flyer at a value price. Final notes & Key Trends: Rays are 9-1 in their last 10 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Rays are 9-1 in their last 10 games after losing the first 2 games of a series.
