Two of the hottest pitchers in the bigs square off Wednesday and oddsmakers have reacted with a 6.5-run total. Lefty Clayton Kershaw goes for the Dodgers against Philadelphia’s Roy Oswalt.
Los Angeles has won two of Kershaw’s last three outings with the young lefty sporting a 1.80 ERA over that span. Kershaw took the no-decision the last time he took the hill, giving up a solo home run over six innings pitched while striking out six.
Meanwhile, the Phillies have won five of Roy Oswalt’s six starts since he came over from the Houston Astros. The veteran right-hander has allowed just one run over his last 15 innings pitched and has 155 strikeouts and only 43 walks this year.
The starters look ready to go, but both of these offenses can erupt quickly. We’re expecting at least a few crooked numbers on the board.
Pick: Over
Colorado at San Francisco (-120, 6.5)
September couldn’t come soon enough for San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum. The two-time NL Cy Young winner lost all six of his starts last month, sporting a 7.82 ERA. He has allowed at least four earned runs in each of his last four starts.
Colorado had won six of its last seven heading into Tuesday’s action and will have their ace Ubaldo Jimenez on the mound against the Giants. Jimenez hasn’t won in four starts, but didn’t allow more than three runs in any of those outings either. The 6-foot-4 right-hander has already beaten San Francisco twice this year.
Pick: Rockies
