SUNDAY AFTERNOON MLB MONEYLINE MASSACRE
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Arizona, 08/02/2020 4:10 PM, Score: 3 - 0
Money Line: -172.00 LA Dodgers (Away)
Result: Win
Expected the LA Dodgers with Clayton Kershaw on the mound to be a much bigger favorite than this, so I'm well happy to back them at this price. Kershaw (2019: 16-5, 2.44 ERA) is set for his season debut, but we have no reason to believe he's not still one of the best pitchers in baseball.

As for the D'Backs, they turn to Merrill Kelly (1-0, 1.17 ERA) who was solid in his season opener but note his 4.42 ERA as a 30-year-old rookie in 2019.

Arizona has averaged only 3.12 runs per game, and that against softer pitchers than Kershaw. Dodgers win this one easily.

8* play on LA Dodgers.
