Pitchers Duel At The OK Ravine ...


Dodgers Game Notes: Today's Dodgers game will likely be a very low scoring affair (Latos vs Kershaw). The Vegas Run Total line is 5-1/2 runs with -125 juice on the Over portion, which amounts to a non-juice over/under of right around 5.9 runs. The simulator has the over/under at 6.10 runs. When simulated 100K times 49.78% of the time the game went Over, which is basically a 50/50 split. Historically, by Vegas standards today's game is the 12th lowest Over/Under of the season. Amazingly this ranks tied for 4th, for the lowest Over/Under in a Kershaw pitched game (Weaver, Cain, Luebke, Chacin). The top three most likely scores have the Dodgers winning 3-2, 2-1, 1-0, with the fourth most likely score a Padres 2-1 victory.

In the battle of who’s more inept.

Dodger underDOGS


I was recently asked how Tuesday's Dodgers game ranked as far as how big of an underdog the Dodgers were in all of their 2011 games to this date. One would think that the Cliff Lee / Ted Lilly matchup would see the Dodgers as a rather large underdog compared to all the previous games. The one thing working in the Dodgers favor is that they are playing at home. Here is the top 10 list.
