Premium Pick

This is the fourth straight road game for Los Angeles, and they are a long way from home. The Dodgers have a whopping 20-game lead in the National League West, so there is no urgency for a win. They come off a 6-1 loss at Detroit as -150 chalk. Pittsburgh has a winning home record with more to play for, winning five of seven at home. Pirates righty Gerrit Cole is a 10-game winner and throws best at home, walking just 15 in 68 innings here with 60 strikeouts. The team has won six of his last eight starts, and he owns a 3-1 record against the Dodgers. The Pirates are 9-4 against a starter with a WHIP less than 1.15, and the Dodgers have lost eight of the last nine meetings at Pittsburgh. Play Pittsburgh.
