Premium Pick

LA has won six in a row and eight of nine. They clinched yesterday but still have a lot to play for. They will be the wild card unless they win here (and get some help from Arizona). They give the ball to Eric Stults who's only pitched in five games. In his singe start at the Mets on September 10th, he gave up just one run in six innings. San Franisco starts Jason Schmidt but he can't help with San Francisco's bats. The Giants have lost 12 of 14 games and are in a freefall. Schmidt has only won once in his last six starts and the Dogers have won 12 of 18 games in this matchup so far this season (including 6 of 8 here in San Francisco). The Dodgers are killing the ball (7.4 runs per game over their last seven) while SF can't hit (3.4 per game over their last seven). The Dodgers have the better bullpen too. Every advantage goes to LA here except starting pitching which is being overvalued. Take the big underdog that has the hotter bats that is in need of a win
