MLB - 929 Tampa Bay Rays @ 930 Los Angeles Dodgers
(Starting Pitchers: D. Price vs C. Capuano)
***TRIPLE DIME PLAY***
This isn't a good spot for the LA Dodgers, as this will be their first home game after a road trip, without any day off in the middle. On the other hand, Tampa Bay will come to this game in bounce back mode, after losing both games of a 2-games series against Arizona. The Rays will start David Price tonight, who held the Giants to one run in nine innings last Saturday. He has been pitching well since he returned from the DL, but he has been even better as of late, with dominant performances at Boston. Price is now attacking more the strike zone, something that is allowing him to go further on his outings. The main problem with that has been the high HR/FB% with 13.1%, but that won't be a problem at the Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers won't start Hanley Ramirez, Andre Ethier and Carl Crawford tonight, so Price should dominate in here.
Chris Capuano will start for the Dodgers tonight and he is coming from six shutout innings last Saturday against the Cubs. He has been super inconsistent as of late by getting pounded big time or being simply excellent on his outings. He has been facing poor hitting teams versus LH pitchers lately: Cubs #22; Cincinnati #11; Toronto #17; Colorado twice #28; Philadelphia #18. Things will be much different tonight against Tampa Bay, the team that is #1 in the league on hitting versus LH pitchers! Capuano struggles against RH batters (.283 BA, .354 wOBA and 4.38 FIP), so the Rays will use a lineup loaded of RH batters to take advantage of that. With the Rays having a clear SP edge and a spot edge, I believe they will pick up a comfortable win tonight. Therefore, I'll be taking Tampa Bay tonight on a Triple Dime Play!
Pick: 5 units (Triple Dime Play) on 929 Tampa Bay Rays ML (w/ D. Price) @ -141 / 1.71 on Bovada
