Los Angeles Dodgers are just doing what they do best,

Now whether or not we want to take advantage of a familiar trend is up to us. I'm no Jimmy the Greek. I dont have to be. In studying the Dodgers, The the Blue Pandemic has allowed me to play hooky while the rest of this nations capers roam to and fro looking for ways to prosper.  Its no secret, The Dodgers have even lowered the bar they have set time and time again. Ive seen it every year, and ever since La Sorda's and the rest of us soiled our pants when a one arm man hit the home run that brought them celebrity status, Just think, that's as good as it ever got for the Dodgers, a one arm guy crawling out of the locker room has put the Dodgers in the history books forever. So my point is?, Do not be afraid to play the unders for the next two series, that is unless Mattingly ties each players arm behind their back. Then who knows the Dodgers may start hitting again. Do not hold your breath until you turn blue.

The  Dodgers skid on their faces every year in a fashion that motivates most fanatic L.A. fan to start attending alcoholics anonymous meetings, Goose eggs in all three games against the Giants?  Wow, they deserve the honor  of breaking a record that has held for 123 seasons. Do I need to lay out a fleece and ask God if its okay to play the under tonight? uh...NO GIDDEON!. Now, granted the Giants are on the top of the heap at 16-7 in their most recent and predictable streak. That series was one of the worst displays of baseball the Dodgers have ever put on., just horrible, I  liken it to watching Kevin Costner playing Wyatt Earp three nights in a row,. Sure as hell wont be watching  "Batman" for a while.

I am willing to bet that the Dodgers are not done putting on a Blue Flu exposition. They will most certainly give Chris Young a boost in confidence, even though his numbers are not to great against the Dodgers at 2-5, he pitched well against the Yankees into the late inning, moreover,  we are not playing the Mets to win even though the odds are great in my opinion that they will persevere a win in a very low scoring game. Chris Capuano does not  look so great on paper against the Mets either. However he is 5-0 WITH A 1.57 ERA at home.

I look for him to be well aware that giving up one run will probably lose him the game.The Mets scored more runs Wednesday (17) than the Dodgers have scored in their last 10 games (15). Generally this will trigger a dry spell of sorts in the Mets case. How many times have you seen that anomaly?, When a team puts up double digits and then struggles severely the next day, I am leaning that way, coupled with the reality the Dodgers are facing in a Matt "Kempless"offense. Wow! give them a double portion of "bat silence" with either out as well.

The timing is right on this!

Stats go out the window in lieu of the Dodgers latest dehydration. I'm telling you. They will press, pressing is not  good, Capuano, in Dodger fashion,  have to pitch above and beyond expectations to give L.A a chance to win. Historically, Dodger pitchers have always had to have that mentality in order to give themselves a chance for a win.This has been status quo since for many years.

Dodger Stadium is a stingy park,  Lay another bet down on both sides for no score in the first inning!  It will cool off by 8PM and the wind will be blowing in. at least in the Dodgers mind it will be a freekin hurricane.. I know, the Dodgers are best in class  allowing  an average 7.7  hits a game. I dont care! It goes out the window when the Dodgers are in "pull the "ripp chord mode"  Ive seen the symptoms and the Dodgers are in desperate need of Dr, Heinlick, Sorry he is on vacation.  I'm playing the under for all the three games, regardless of the less than stellar pitching to follow this evenings run-less adventure.  Yes!  Major League Baseball  is giving away free money!
