Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres o7.5 (-125) - Monday September 8th ‘08 10:05p
The Los Angeles Dodgers have suddenly won eight straight games after being left for dead following a 10-game losing streak less than two weeks ago, as Manny Ramirez has refused to let them die by carrying the offense. The San Diego Padres scored 10 runs themselves yesterday, and they are very familiar with Greg Maddux, who was with San Diego until July and is starting for the Dodgers tonight. Given that Padres starter Cha Seung Baek is coming back to earth after a good start, we feel these teams should fly Over this low total with relative ease. Baek has failed to record a Quality Start in his last three outings, posting a bloated 7.71 ERA and 1.59 WHIP in 16.1 innings in the process. He faced these Dodgers just last week in Los Angeles, and the results were not pretty, as he was roughed up for seven earned runs and eight hits while lasting just 3.2 innings Now normally, we like to take a long look at the opposite result of the first meeting when a pitcher faces the same team for the second time in less than a week, as baseball is about making the proper adjustments. However, the Dodgers are pummeling everyone right now, scoring at least five runs in every games of their eight-game winning streak, so we do not expect Baek to slow them down tonight either. Now Maddux has not been great since putting on the Dodger uniform, with a 5.94 ERA and a very un-Maddux-like 1.50 WHIP in three starts for LA. He has also yet to six innings since coming over, so it is obvious that the sunset to a brilliant career is not too far off. It also does not help his cause that the Padres are actually hitting right-handers well lately, batting .281 against them over the past 10 games. Now we are well aware of what a pitchers paradise this stadium is, but this still seems like a very low total when you consider the current state of both these starting pitchers and these offenses.

Los Angeles Dodgers (-140) - Mon September 8th ‘08 10:05p
The LA Dodgers enter into tonights road tilt against the San Diego Padres on a 8 game winning streak, and I expect they will make it 9 in a row after tonight , as they send veteran Greg Maddux ( 7-11, 4.18 ERA) out to the hill to face his former team mates. The right hander allowed allowed two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings of work against the Padres in a 5-2 victory last Monday. The future Hall of Famer has pitched well at PETCO this season ,as is evident by a 2.62 ERA and 0.98 WHIP in 14 starts , and should be primed to stop what has to be considered MLBs worst hitting team. Meanwhile, the Padres will return fire with struggling thrower Cha Seung Baek (4-9, 5.34) . The right-hander in his last outing, which came against the Dodgers, was awful, as he allowed seven runs and eight hits in 3 2-3 innings of an 8-4 loss . The native of Korea is 0-4 with along with a bloated 6.35 ERA in his last five starts overall, and could easily end up as cannon fodder , against a Dodgers offense, that has churned out 6.5 RPG during their current hot run. Final notes & Key Trends: Maddux when he starts has seen his team go 31-15 L/46 against division foes. Dodgers have won 7 straight, against righties like Baek. Padres have lost 6 of Baeks last 7 home starts. With that said, I am recommend riding the momentum of the Dodgers on the moneyline - Courtesy of Alex Smart
