LA DODGERS(Kuroda)-182 over Mets(Takahashi)-----Dodgers are only 10-8 in games Kuroda has started but...........look at how bad the Mets are running: 2 runs scored per game over their last 12 games. And if you look at the numbers, the Mets really arent that good at slugging, hitting or walking. They had just been on a winning streak before the all-star break and now.........its over.(Win 2-0..........Matt Kemp 2RBI)

PITTSBURGH PIRATES(Ohlendorf) +146 over Brewers(Gallardo)---------Is Gallardo good enough to stop the Pirates' recent offensive explosion? Im not sure he is. I can only speculate about why the Pirates didnt support Jeff Karstens but the facts are that they've scored very high(like 9 or higher) in 4 of their last 5 games. At this price for a home team, I'll try it.(Lose 3-2)
