This is a 5* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the LA Dodgers.

I feel the clear talent discrepancy on the mound absolutely justifies in laying this larger price. The home side turns to Zack Greinke (13-8, 2.72 ERA) who has dominated the Diamondbacks of late, going 4-0 with a minuscule 1.37 ERA in six matchups since the start of 2013, giving up just two runs over 19 1/3's innings while striking out 22 in three this year. Note that Greinke looked great in his last outing as well in giving up one run over eight innings, unfortunate to receive a no-decision in his team's eventual 2-1, 10-innings loss to the Friars; despite that though, Greinke has a tiny 1.80 ERA over his last three starts. The southpaw has simply not been backed by much support of late, he's received two runs or fewer in seven of his last nine games. Good news for Greinke, Arizona has scored two runs or fewer eight times during a dismal 2-10 road stretch. And that's bad news for Trevor Cahill (3-10, 5.06 ERA) who was shelled for six runs over just 3 1/3's innings in a 9-5 loss to the Dodgers back on August 26th. Note that Cahill struggled in his last start as well, he gave up three runs in four innings in his team's 3-1 setback to San Diego on Monday. Many of the Dodgers' sluggers have feasted off Cahill throughout their careers, including Adrian Gonzalez who is 11 for 25 off him with two home runs and three doubles. Greinke was robbed of a win last time out, I think the veteran comes in focused here and finds a way to get the job done; play on the DODGERS.
