Don’t look now but the surging Los Angeles Dodgers are only 1 game back of the league-leading San Francisco Giants in the National League West. They’ll try to inch a little closer tonight when they send the left-hander Scott Kazmir to the mound. Kazmir comes into this game winning his last 7 starts, is 9-3 on the season, with a 4.35 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. The Dodgers are tough to beat at Chavez Ravine. They’re 23-7 in their last 30 at home. Braden Shipley will make his second start in the Bigs. He was roughed up in his Major League debut against Milwaukee, surrendering 6 runs on 8 hits in 5-1/3 innings. Arizona struggles against LA. They are 17-41 in their last 58 meetings and 6-20 in their last 26 at the Ravine. I like A-Gon and company tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Los Angeles Dodgers
