MLB Baseball Betting: Los Angeles vs. Arizona: August 31st
Free Sports Picks, MLB Baseball Picks August 31st, 2008Los Angeles Dodgers (155) - Sun August 31 ‘08 8:05p
The Los Angeles Dodgers got a huge monkey off of their collective backs by snapping an eight-game losing streak last night, and we look for them to make is two straight over the Arizona Diamondbacks in ESPN Sunday Night Baseball.
Sure it is never easy facing Brandon Webb, but Derek Lowe of the Dodgers has been just as unhittable lately. Lowe has reeled off four consecutive Quality Starts, and he has a fantastic 1.69 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in his last three outings. Lowe also pitched very well the last time he faced Webb and the D-Backs July 31 in LA, allowing just two runs in 6,1 innings of a tough-luck 2-1 loss.
Meanwhile, Webb is coming off one of his worst starts of the year where he allowed six earned runs and nine hits in 4.2 innings vs. the normally light-hitting San Diego Padres. Now obviously, Webb is much better that that, buy his 3.05 ERA and 1.13 WHIP for the season are not so much better than the 3.81 ERA and 1.21 WHIP for Lowe that this big price is easy to lay, especially since the Dodgers have the better bullpen.
That said, the Dodgers offer good value at this price.
