L.A. Dodgers vs L.A. Angels
Pick: L.A. Dodgers odd 2.30
WIN!
The Freeway Series shifts to Anaheim Wednesday and the Los Angeles Dodgers appear to have good dog value vs. the Los Angeles Angels. Matt Shoemaker is a deceptive 9-3 for the Halos, as he has gotten good run support while posting a 4.09 ERA. He is facing a Dodgers’ offense whose best split this season has been vs. right-handed pitchers on the road, batting .264 and averaging 4.47 runs per nine innings in this circumstance. Yes, Haren is a disappointing 8-9 with a 4.76 ERA and he has gone five straight outings without a Quality Start, but he still has a good ratio of 95 strikeouts vs. 28 walks, helping lead to a more respectable 3.78 xFIP, and he is making his first start vs. the Angels since 2007, so he can use that unfamiliarity to his benefit. The Dodgers have the best road record in the National League at 34-23.
