Betts Be Hitting

Dodgers vs. Royals under 8 runs

Yoshinobu Yamamoto over 5.5 strikeouts

Mookie Betts to record a hit

‍

The pitching strength here is hard to ignore. Yamamoto has been dealing, striking out 7, 8 and 8 in his last three starts including a gem against the high powered Yankees. Seth Lugo is a solid pitcher. But my money is on. Yamamoto - who ahs covered for me time and time again. Take him to cover the 5.5 strikeouts tonight.

Based on the pitching alone, I will take the Dodgers to keep this one a low scoring affair - especially after the Royals had a rough go against the Yankees last week. Plus, Seth Lugo has been roughed up a little bit in the past couple of weeks against NY and Cleveland - giving up 5 runs on six hits against the Guardians… Still, he’s a good road pitcher and he needs a bounce back outing tonight against LA. Gonna take the under 8 runs.

Finally, Mookie Betts has an eight game hitting streak and is 2-5 against Lugo in his last three matchups. I can see him getting an easy knock or two to keep his average in the .307-.310 range.
