The set-up: This series features a a couple of competitive match-ups on the mound and this is one of them in my opinion. Both of these veteran starters have looked decent so far this season, but I think Hyun-Jin Ryu will find a way to get the job done here at home. The visitors hand the ball to Derek Holland.

The pitchers: Holland is so far 6-8 with a 3.97 ERA. He most recently gave up five runs off ten hits over 6.1 innings while striking out five and walking one in a fortunate victory over Pittsburgh on Friday. Holland has been serviceable, but he's been shaky in all "night" games with the poor 2-7, 4.99 ERA record in such instances.

Ryu is so far 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA. He's made two re-hab starts and he's been cleared to go here. Over his first six starts before landing on the DL he posted the 2.12 ERA and a sharp 0.88 WHIP.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Dodgers are 7-2 in their last nine home games as a favorite in the -125 to -175 range. Ryu will be on a count, but I still think he'll have more than enough to take care of the "on again, off again" Holland. Lay the price.
