#971/972 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 9 Runs – Los Angeles Dodgers @ Detroit Tigers, Saturday at 1:10 PM ET - When you take a quick surface look at the Dodgers results recently you would be very concerned about the hitting. However, therein lies the key with the superb value we are getting in this spot for a slugfest. The Dodgers recently faced a stretch of 3 starting pitchers for the red hot Phillies that all going strong right now - Wheeler, Sanchez, Nola. They then opened up this series by having to face another fantastic arm as the Tigers Skubal has been dominating. Watch what happens now when this solid Dodgers lineup takes on a rookie pitcher making just the 5th start of his MLB career. Keider Montero is off a good start versus Cleveland but he entered that start with a 6.60 ERA in his first 3 MLB starts. Also, in the minors this season Montero was 1-4 with a 5.03 ERA. In fact, in all of his minor league seasons above the single A level, Montero had an ERA near a 5.00 at every single stop. He comes in over-rated now after that quality start versus the Guardians and we expect this solid Dodgers lineup will pound him. Keep in mind they won yesterday's game once Skubal was out of the game and they got to the Tigers pen. Los Angeles has the top slugging percentage in the NL this season and they also have hit well in day games and in road games. The Dodgers have a very strong lineup that will give Montero all sorts of trouble here. Also, the Tigers bullpen ranks in the lower half of the majors for team ERA. The Dodgers also have a concern pitching-wise here as well. Justin Wrobleski, likek Montero, is a rookie. Also, he has made just one start and we watched the Brewers get to him for 4 runs and honestly it could have been more. He was at home for that start too so now you have a rookie making his first ever MLB road start and it is going to be a warm afternoon in Detroit. The Tigers are swinging hot bats with a slugging percentage in the top 8 out of all 30 teams both the last 7 days and last 15 days. They keep it going here as Wrobleski struggles in his first road start. Over is the call in this one Saturday early afternoon.
