(MLB) Houston vs. LA Dodgers,
Money Line: -163.00 LA Dodgers (Home)
Result: Win
This is a Dodger team that steamrolled the Diamondbacks and then lost just 1 game to the hands of the Cubs en route to a fantastic postseason. The offense is good and so is their defense and pitching. This team has not been to the world series since the 80's and LA will be rocking today. I look for Clayton Kershaw to be focused and geared up for this game. Astros starter Dallas Keuchel has been inconsistent at times this year and he has struggled on the road in the playoffs. Remember that Houston also loses their DH in the National League ballpark. The Astros are 1-6 in their last 7 Playoff Road Games and the Dodgers are 47-9 in Kershaw's last 56 starts. The 95 degree weather isn't scaring me and I'm back LA here on Tuesday night. Finally, I love Dave Roberts, and give him the edge in the managerial department. I love his decision-making. If you listen to his press conferences and interviews, you can feel the passion he has for HIS PLAYERS.
