Dodgers -130 (4.5* MLB POD)
Love the Dodgers here as they have won 6 in a row and 20 of their last 26 when they are favored. Clayton Kershaw so far to me is the Cy Young winner now he goes east in what might look like a start that does not matter, but it's going to be a big one on whether or not he can win the Cy Young facing a playoff team on the road. In 3 career starts vs. the Braves he's got a 2.42 ERA 25 K's in 22.1 IP with a WHIP under 1.00. Braves hitters have 60 career at bats and a .133 average vs. Kershaw and ironically for a playoff team are 29th in OPS vs. LHP this year. Those struggles are highlighted even more over their last 10 as they have a .185 average vs. LHP. Dodgers are scoring 6.64 runs over their last 10 games vs. RHP and continue to be hot as they face rookie Randall Delgado. Delgado looks to have solid stuff at 21, but he's just 21 and he's prone to walking guys and giving up HR's. He had a quality start but it was vs. the Giants in August. IN AAA/AA he has an ERA over 4 and is giving up more than 4 walks per game and nearly 2 HR. The Braves injuries I think are starting to have an impact on the bullpen and again they'll likely have to go to the bullpen early and that bullpen which is best in the majors has a 5.62 ERA over the last 5. Back to Kershaw we see he's got 100+ pitches in all of his last 10 starts, but the Dodgers are being smart giving him extra rest when they can as he's off 5 days rest today where the Dodgers are 16-5 in his last 21 on 5 days rest.

Cardinals -155 (3* play)
Can't help but back the Cards here even if it's at this price. To me it's almost free money as Bronson Arroyo's last 3 starts in St. Louis have been bad. He's got a 8.09 ERA and a 1.68 WHIP and is not getting past 6 innings. He'll leave things up to a bullpen that's just not that good. Meanwhile Edwin Jackson is hitting his strides he's 3-0 with a 2.22 ERA at Busch Stadium and over his last 5 starts he has a 2.59 ERA and a 1.28 WHIP. Reds do not hit righties nearly as well as lefties they are ranked 15th in OPS vs. RHP while the Cardinals are 4th and are scoring 5.40 runs per 9 vs. RHP over their last 10 while the Reds are scoring just 3.86. Reds are just 20-46 in their last 66 visiting St. Louis.
