Taking the DODGERS tonight. Even after the Houston bats pounced on our LAD bullpen, I think we still hold the edge in that scope of the game. And the fact that LA had been absolutely flawless through the playoffs gives me reason to have faith in that belief. Yu Darvish is no stranger to the Astros, Texas, or Minute Maid Park. 4-1 2.61 ERA in 6 career games here with a .74 WHIP helps our cause tonight. So enter McCullers for Houston. 3 games, 2 starts. Against the Sox, 2 earned in 3 innings getting lifted after allowing 3 hits and 2 walks. Pitched a gem against the Yanks, and continued it in 4 innings of relief. But as good as that was, I still have my doubts. He had a 2.69 ERA end of June. End of the regular season it was 4.25. I guess you have to hit the DL for a month when you post an ERA approaching 10 in July in 4 starts. I guess he improved to an ERA near 7 in his 3 September starts. So maybe he is back in his May form that saw him give up 4 runs in 6 starts spanning 36+ innings for a .99 ERA. Darvish had a 2.49 ERA in 10 away games for Texas and a 2.30 ERA in 5 away games for LA. I know everyone was waiting for the Astro bats to come alive. But LA has a couple decent bats themselves. Have to grab LA as a dog here based on the value of the team and their starter tonight. 4* Money Maker LA DODGERS
