LAD: Tomko (1-0, 4.50 ERA)
PIT: Maholm (0-1, 7.50 ERA)
Pittsburgh looks to follow up last game's win over the Dodgers with another Wednesday at home. They send Paul Maholm against Brett Tomko.
Sporting a 4-4 overall record and a 0-0 mark within the division, the Dodgers aim to knock the Pirates (1-6 in the division) for a loss.
The betting line opened as a pick'em in this game, while the total opened at 9. Los Angeles is 4-4 on the year, while the Pirates are 2-7.
Last time out, at PNC Park against Pittsburgh, the Dodgers as favorites lost to the Pirates 7-6. That game was an over play.
The Pirates need to cut down on the strikeouts and get some runners on base - they are whiffing 7.8 times per game. The hitters need to make some contact.
Some trends to consider:
Los Angeles is 3-9-1 OU in its last 13 away
Los Angeles is 3-8-0 SU in its last 11 games after scoring 4 to 6 runs
Los Angeles is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games away against Pittsburgh
Los Angeles is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games against Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games at home against Los Angeles
Pittsburgh is 5-0-0 OU in its last 5 games against Los Angeles
Pittsburgh is 5-1-0 OU in its last 6 games
Pittsburgh is 4-13-0 SU in its last 17 games after scoring 7 to 9 runs
