<\/a>Los Angeles has won three games in a row, including an 8-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies as -215 home favorites Wednesday, while going OVER the betting total of 6.5.\u00a0 The Dodgers\u2019 last homestand was their first with a winning record during the 2014 campaign\u2014starting the year with a 13-19 record at Dodger Stadium.\u00a0 Los Angeles is 8-7 on the road with a money line of -100 to -125 this season, with the UNDER going 9-5-1 in that situation.<\/p>\n
Dodgers starting pitcher Dan Haren (7-4, 3.54 ERA) has tallied back-to-back wins, including a 6-4 home victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks last time out, as he allowed three runs and eight hits over 6.1 innings.\u00a0 The right-hander is 4-3 with a 3.67 ERA in seven road games, with opposing hitters batting .286 against him.\u00a0 Haren has allowed six first-inning runs in his last five efforts, but he\u2019ll be facing the worst hitting team in the Majors in this affair.<\/p>\n
San Diego has put together a forgettable 5-12 record this month due to averaging 1.9 runs per game over that span, but the club is looking to win its third consecutive contest after winning a pair of home games versus the Seattle Mariners.\u00a0 The Padres need No. 3 hitter Seth Smith to turn things around\u2014batting .188 in 48 at-bats during June\u2014dropping his average 29 points to .280 on the year.\u00a0 San Diego is 7-7 at home with a money line of -100 to -125, with the UNDER going 8-4-2 in those 14 opportunities.<\/p>\n
Padres starting pitcher Ian Kennedy (5-8, 3.72 ERA) has dropped back-to-back efforts, including a 3-1 road defeat to the New York Mets last time out, as he surrendered three runs and seven hits over 5.1 innings of work.\u00a0 The right-hander is 2-5 with a 3.88 ERA in eight home outings\u2014issuing 12 walks and striking out 56 batters in 48.2 combined frames.\u00a0 Kennedy has put together a 0-3 record and 6.35 ERA in his last four starts versus the Blue Crew.<\/p>\n
Sports bettors will likely back the Dodgers due to the Padres being 2-10 in their last 12 games following a win.<\/p>\n
