The Dodgers have been great defensively all season. But their offense is wicked. They average 5 runs per game (5.1 on the road and 5.7 vs. LHP). The Angels average 5.1 per game at home while allowing nearly as many. Chad Billingsley has been great but there are two pitchers and two bullpens in this game. Joe Saunders started out great but over his last three starts he's posted a 5.04 ERA. And, the Angels bullpen has been even worse with a 5.83 ERA this season. Over the past three seasons, teh Angels are 20-8 OVER at home when coming off back-to-back road games. And with Scioscia at the helm, they are 21-9 OVER at home after 5+ straight wins. That includes a 12-3 OVER mark after 6+ straight wins. There's enough offense in this game to push it OVER this low total and I think it'll happen.
