Dodgers' lefty Scott Kazmir (9-5) has had a fine season with the team 6-2 his last eight starts. The Dodgers are on a 20-6 run at home, as well as 38-16 at home against a team with a losing road record. This shapes up as another one-sided rout for the home team. Play the Dodgers to win by at least two.
