    Should I hit the Dodgers RL tomorrow?

    the -175 juice seems high, Kershaw is a stud in the making, Ian Kennedy isn't that great. Doing research as we speak, but any insight would be appreciated, as that +120 is making my mouth water.

    Diamondbacks lose catcher Miguel Montero...Dodgers are obviously the better team and are at home..only 3 hitters on the Dodgers have seen Kennedy...

    dodgers fans are always so biased. read the scouting report on kershaw. he walks a ton of batters. +161 ML is likely because they know most losers are going to pick LAD no matter what the spread. Anyways Im putting a unit on Ari. Fade me if you want, but dodgers havent looked like much in 2010 yet

    Kershaw is 0-1 when starting against Arizona with an ERA of 4.40 and a WHIP of 1.535.

    Look at what the Dodgers are hitting against Kennedy. Out of the four players who have faced him, only one has gotten a hit.

    No play. Way better games on the card.

    The Dodgers were 14-12 in opening home games of the series in 2009 (only 19 losses combined in games 2,3,4)

    They were also 14-12 in 2008 (again only 21 losses in 2-4 combined)

    Kinda an abstract way of looking at it, but hope it helps someone

    I'm playing it big. I actually disagree with you once . One start is too small of a sample size against a team, as well as the players who have faced Kennedy. only one batter has has more than 2 AB's against Kennedy.

    D'backs also without their starting catcher Montero. Snyder is a joke with the bat.

    Home opener, Dodgers come out pumped, and win this game big.

    I read the blog and it was a good read. However, I still feel this game is a coinflip and suggest looking at other games (especially if you are going hard). I am not wagering on this game and will be rooting for you to start the day out in the green.

    Thanks Patrick. Always looking out for your thread(s) on games. They always seem to hit. Thank you for that Reds/Marlins over bet, help me cut losses on the miserable Braves bet.

    RL on the Dodgers is betting with your heart.....if your an L.A. Fan. Too risky to say the least.

    That one start was in arizona and i know for a fact Kershaw was in a slump because i had some inside info for a few months on that kid last year. He is nails at home. If he can get any run support he will pick up a victory.

    this game worries me as LA hasnt exactly hit there stride as of yet and if im gonna pay that much juice i want a team that is firing on all cylinders...Kershaw has been lights out at home but he is a guy that has a hard time controlling his emotions at times and i would worry that the home opener could easily be one of those times where he comes out to pumped up and has problems locating his pitches, he may be great but think it is to big a gamble to think you know what your gonna get from him tomorrow....its a pass for me so gl either way

    far as rl goes id say if your gonna bet them might as well go that way as if Kershaw pitches well it should be more than 1 run game if he doesnt who knows how it goes

    I like over in this bad boy..

    Kershaws controll seems weak and the bullpen ain't all that. The two teams have both averaged over 6 runs per game offensively.

    Dodgers are very rested. They should win against ARZ.

    Well Kershaw is sill an enigman, he has a good fast ball and curve. He does, at times, struggle to locate his curve (and has no relibale 3rd pitch, though he's been working on a slider/change).

    When he has trouble with his curve; he walks alot of guys and give up alot of hits as people look just for the the fastball and ignore anything offspeed.

    Kershaw was all over the place in his first start against Pitt. I think he bounces back.

    I knew someone that was hanging around him last year. I dont need a scouting report I have watched almost everyone single one of his starts.
