Money Line: -168.00 LA Dodgers (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: This series is all tied up at 1-1. The visitors hand the ball to Jhoulys Chacin, while the home side goes with Walker Buehler. After rallying for the 4-3 win in Game 2, I think the Dodgers carry that momentum over here.
The pitchers: Chacin fired five shutout innings against Colorado in Game 3 of the LDS, but in his lone meeting against the Dodgers this year he was shelled for nine runs. Overall Chacin has struggled against the Dodgers, posting a 4.41 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 145 career innings.
Buehler gave up five runs over five innings in Game 3 of the LDS against the Braves. In his lone start against Milwaukee this year though he gave up one run over seven innings.
The pick: If we look a little closer at Chacin's numbers we see that he in fact has a very poor 6.13 ERA over his last eight starts against LA. Furthermore, Buehler was downright awesome at home this season, posting a tiny 1.93 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 74.2 frames of work. Lay the price.
