MLB Odds
Houston -120, LA Dodgers EVEN
Total: O 9 runs (+102), U 9 runs (-122)
I like the Dodgers to get it done here today against the Astros. Sure, Houston has really been playing solid baseball, winners of three straight contests. They could sweep the Dodgers with a victory here at home today, Houston will give the baseball to Spencer Arrighetti (4-8, 5.65). Houston has lost four straight games which he has started and he's yielded 13 ER in those starts.
LA has dropped three of the last four games after winning five straight. They're giving the ball to River Ryan (0-0, 0.00) and he's thrown only 5 1/3 innings so far this season. The lack of experience could hurt Ryan, but he ranks inside the Dodgers' Top 5 prospect list and does have a lively fastball.
Houston's been strong at home (30-21) this year. The Dodgers are above .500 away from home (28-24) this season. They've dropped each of the last two here in Houston but we get a chance to get the Dodgers at plus-money here and that's always something to check out.
