We are coming off the loss of a POD last night with the Dodgers as Kershaw could not find the strike zone otherwise we'd be sitting pretty right now, but we are not. Today's free pick is a little bit of a revenge on the Dodgers but only for 2-Dimes a slightly larger Free Play though.
Kuroda will go for the Dodgers and he's off back to back quality starts vs. Cardinals and Marlins of 6IP 2ER in each. The Dodgers are 25-6 at home as favorites -110 to -150 in their last 31. Milwaukee has never faced Kuroda except in relief in which they are 4-15. It will take at least one trip around the line up. However, that is not why I'm going with the Dodgers tonight. The reason is that Milwaukee is now in Game 2 of the series playing on the west coast 2 hours later than they are used to. Ask any player and he will tell you it's not Game 1 that they are tired it is Game 2. Brewers are 2-5 in their last 7 road game 2's and with the Dodgers on revenge and the Brewers 2-9 in their last 11 following a win I feel confident that the Dodgers will get it back together tonight against Gallardo.
Gallardo will have to rebound from his only start vs. the Dodgers where he went 5 innings and gave up 5ER. Unfortunately for him I just do not see it happening here. Go with the Dodgers as our free play with confidence!
