Gonsolin, after some trouble in July has bounced back in August in a big way, allowing just 2 runs over 23+ innings. He faces another right-hander off a good start in Miami's Lopez. Lopez has not been as effective in August. He struggled in two of his previous 3 start and has a hefty ERA of 5.06 for the month. Lopez struggles more often at home.

The Dodgers are not in a losing mood, winning 5 of 6 games against the Marlins recently. They couldn't solve Alcantara, but they did get to another fine starter, Cabrera, yesterday, and they have beaten up on the Miami bullpen very thoroughly in their recent games. it is not surprising as the Marlins' bullpen has an ERA of nearly 6 in their last 10 games.

The Dodgers have a formidable offense, the Marlins not so much. The Dodgers runs scored to runs allowed ratio is nearly double that of the Marlins. LA is a big favorite, but a safe bet on the run line. Take the Dodgers at -1 1/2.
