Following a dramatic 1-0, 10-inning win over their rivals, the Giants, Los Angeles should extend their recent surge tonight against Florida.

The Dodgers try to continue their August drive knowing Derek Lowe has issued only one walk against 19 strikeouts in his last three starts. Amazingly, throughout this winning run Los Angeles has not been outpriced, as is the case here tonight. In their recent run that has seen the Dodgers win 15 of their last 16, LA has held their opposition to just 40 runs.

They've also feasted against losing opposition during the second half of the season this year, coming in with a 14-3 record so far. With Dontrelle Willis in shaky current form and 4-9 in his road starts this season, including losses in his last two starts away from home, look for Willis to dip to 1-4 against the Dodgers here tonight.

It's hard to argue this play since LA just swept the Marlins back in Florida a week ago. Willis has also been shakey lately.
