not the game

Las Vegas - If there is a game four in the Dodgers/D'backs series, we're gonna have to roll with Arizona to close the deal. We should get the same pitching matchup from game one, which is Clayton Kershaw against Merrill Kelly. Respect Kershaw, and he is a NO DOUBT first ballot Hall of Famer, but he just does not seem to have anything left in that spectacular left arm. Gotta believe it's some kind of injury. Everyone knows his fastball is way down, and everyone knows that playoff Kershaw's ERA is twice as fat as his regular season numbers. Kinda sad to see him pummeled in the opener, allowing SIX hits and SIX earned runs in 1/3 of an inning. On the other side of the field, the right arm from Arizona, Kelly, put on a clinic, throwing six innings worth of bagels and allowing just three hits. So, if there is a game four, gimme the Diamondbacks for the money.

Obviously, the D'backs swept the Dodgers and jumped in the pool. So, no action tonight.

For your wagering pleasure, here is your spread stat of the day. SMU travels to East Carolina to fight the Pirates on Thursday night, and we need to let you know that the line has jumped from SMU -8.5 all the way up to -12.5. Also need to let you know that the Mustangs have only covered one of their last seven on the road.
