I'm from LA and bleed Dodger blue. I use my knowledge of the team to my advantage. The Dodgers are playing very bad baseball. The offense is missing and I see no reason to believe that this team can meet the pressure of this pennant race.
Pitching matchup favors the Dbacks as Chan Ho is not pitching well. The other night he came in for middle relief and got shelled!
At +157 the Dbacks are a bargain here. I mixed up my plays for Thursday including 2 moderately priced favs.
At this time of the season, I'm really concentrating my capping on the teams in contention. I can't back the effort of some of the alleged spoilers.
Hope this responds to your question and good luck.
