1* Free Play Dodgers.

Setting the scene: LA annihilated Philadelphia 15-5 yesterday and if you don't mind laying some chalk, you may want to consider jumping on the Dodgers again tonight as we're expecting another lop-sided destruction.

Scott Kazmir: He's 9-6 with a 4.44 ERA. Kazmir gave up two runs off four hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in a loss to these very Phillies last Wednesday. It's been a rocky campaign for Kazmir, but this start was one of his better outings. Note that he's 5-0 with a 4.55 ERA on the road this year.

Jake Thompson: He's 1-1 with an 8.68 ERA. Thompson has made two big league starts and looked horrible in one and "ok" in the other. Most recently he gave up three runs off two hits over five innings in a 10-6 win over Colorado on Friday. Note that he's walked seven batters over his two outings.

The bottom line: We're going to give Kazmir the slight nod in this matchup, as well as giving the DODGERS the big nod at the plate as well. Consider the visitors in this one.
