Los Angeles at Pittsburgh

The LA Dodgers are a mystery team. They have the highest payroll in baseball, and although they have had their share of injuries, they are just 30-31 on the season. It looks a lot worse for this team when you consider that they made an epic run last year going 52-9, but since the beginning of last season, outside of that run, this is just a team that has been two games over .500, and a game under this year. Pittsburgh is 31-30, with a lot less. The Pirates won a slugfest last night 11-9, and far too often that has been the case against the Dodgers this season, as in their last 11 games they have allowed six or more runs in five of them. I like Pittsburgh to get the money this afternoon.
