Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Milwaukee Brewers<\/b><\/p>\n

\"The
The Los Angeles Dodgers are 17-14 as road favorites of -125 to -150 the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Los Angeles suffered a three-game sweep in Atlanta, as it dropped a 5-2 decision as +186 underdogs Sunday, while going UNDER the total for the fourth time in five contests.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m confident out relievers can do the job,\u201d stated Dodgers manager Don Mattingly.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to note that 13 of the team\u2019s 25 losses have been tallied by relief pitchers.\u00a0 The Dodgers are 6-12 on the road, and are in trouble in the NL West division.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 17-14 as road favorites of -125 to -150 the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 17-13-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n

Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (4-2, 1.40 ERA) is coming off a 2-0 home win over the Washington Nationals last time out, as he allowed just five hits over 8.2 scoreless innings.\u00a0 The left-hander is 0-1 with a 2.79 ERA in three road efforts, with opposing hitters batting .179 against him.\u00a0 In seven career appearances versus the Brewers, Kershaw has tallied an even 3-3 record and 2.79 ERA, including a 2-0 mark and 0.64 ERA at this ballpark.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee returns home after a disappointing 2-8 road trip, which concluded with a 4-2 setback to the St. Louis Cardinals as +107 underdogs, while going UNDER the betting total of 9.\u00a0 \u201cIt feels like we\u2019ve been on the road for about a month,\u201d stated Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun.\u00a0 The Brewers still have the ability to turn around their 2013 campaign, considering they closed last year with a 83-79 mark after winning just 17 of their first 42 games.\u00a0 The team is 0-17 this season when scoring three or fewer runs.<\/p>\n

Brewers starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo (3-3, 4.50 ERA) has dropped back-to-back decisions, including a 3-1 setback on the road to the Pittsburgh Pirates last time out, as he allowed two runs and three hits over six innings.\u00a0 The right-hander is 2-0 with a 3.90 ERA in five home starts, with opposing hitters batting .277 against him.\u00a0 In six career games versus the Dodgers, Gallardo has tallied a losing 1-3 record and 6.21 ERA.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Dodgers due to their 5-0 record in Kershaw\u2019s last five outings versus NL Central opponents.<\/p>\n
