MINTY BETTS: Next up, the Astros and Dodgers. The Dodgers are minus 208 and the total is 9. On the mound for Houston is Jake Odorizzi. He's 4 and five with a 4.3 ERA, 54 strikeouts and 19 walks. Starting for LA is Max Scherzer. He's 8 and 4 with a 2.76 ERA, 147 strikeouts and 28 walks.

I never have luck with a total for Dodgers game, so I have to pick a side here. The Astros lead the league in batting average and on base percentage while the Dodgers are not too far behind them. LA has typically prevailed over Houston in recent history but betting on the Dodgers moneyline is just a little too pricey for my liking. LA's pitching rotation is solid from start to finish, even if Houston can hit.

My money is going to be on the Dodgers run line. If you like the Dodgers run line like me, make sure to take advantage of our promo. New users get a risk free bet up to $1,000. Get started at that betmgm.com/yahoo.
