Schule's MLB MERCHANT OF DEATH - $25 S-P-E-C-I-A-L
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Arizona, 09/16/2016 5:40 PM, Score: 3 - 2
Money Line: -130.00 LA Dodgers (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the LAD.

The D'Backs have won four straight, and all four of those games have been slugfests. I expect a pitcher's duel tonight as they host the Dodgers in Game 2 at Chase Field.

Kenta Maeda will toe the slab for the Dodgers, and he's probably been the most consistent pitcher in the majors this year. He's held opponents to three runs or less in nine straight starts. What's really interesting about that stat, is that during that span he's pitched at Coors Field twice, at Citzen's Bank Park, and he's face the D'Backs twice at home. He's 2-1 with a 3.18 in five starts against Arizona this season.

The D'Backs will hand the ball to Zack Greinke, who has lost back to back starts. One of those was against the Dodgers, and he was torched for eight runs on nine hits over 4 2/3 innings in a 10-2 loss in LA. He's likely burning for another crack at his former team, and I think he'll be a little sharper tonight.

Arizona is 16-37 in it's last 53 games versus a right-handed starter.

Take LAD.
