The Dodgers as an under dog? Sure why not Chris Capuano has been good enough on the road to win in the majority of his starts and is on an extra day of rest compared with Mike Leake who is making his 5th start on 4 days rest. In the 4 starts he has given up 19 ER in 21.2 IP. The Dodgers are 41-10 in their last 51 games vs. a RH starter and Andre Ethier is 5-9 against Leake who has never been a second half pitcher. He posts a 5.33 ERA post all star break this year and a 4.75 over the past three years. The Dodgers have hit well against RHP ont he road and are 24-4 in their last 28 road games. Capuano here on 5 days rest exactly is a good thing and he has an ERA under 3.30 on the road and the raw stats have him as the better pitcher compared with Leake.
