This is a 1* Free Play on the LA Dodgers.
I like the home side to keep the momentum rolling tonight and believe it is well worth the price of admission in this spot. The visiting Braves will start Aaron Harang (9-6, 3.31 ERA); the right-hander is having a career year but has been merely average against the Dodgers with a 4-6 record to go with a 4.26 ERA in 11 lifetime starts. LA counters with Josh Beckett (6-5, 2.52 ERA) who is looking to bounce back off one of his shorter outings of the season, allowing four runs in 3 2/3 innings in Tuesday's 12-7 loss to the Pirates. While he hasn't faced them in a few years, it's still significant to note that Beckett is 6-0 with a 0.38 ERA in his last seven starts against the Braves. The Dodgers just swept a very good Giants team on the road thanks in large part to slugger Hanley Ramirez, who was 6 for 13 with three RBIs; also note that Adrian Gonzalez was 5 for 13 with three RBIs, while Yasiel Puig was 5 for 14 with three triples, the Dodgers would ultimately outscore the Giants 17-4. We saw in the playoffs last year that the Dodgers were a tough matchup for the Braves and should once again prove to be just as difficult here as the team is red hot; conversely, the Braves come into this series a little banged up. Keep in mind the Dodgers are 7-4 in games after a day off. Consider LA.
