Baseball - Dunkel Index

MLB
Dunkel Index

Houston at LA Dodgers
The Dodgers dropped another series in St. Louis -- their seventh straight series loss -- and limp home after a 12-2 pasting in which the Cards pounded our a season-high 18 hits. Grady Little will turn to Chad Billingsley to try to keep the Houston offense a little more in check and Billingsley is likely to respond as they right-hander has given up only two runs over his last two starts. But as has been the case with the Dodgers, Billingsley lost both those efforts by identical 1-0 scores (to Arizona and Cincinnati) and won't get much more relief facing Roy Oswalt, who has won his last four starts while only giving up two earned runs (0.72 ERA). The Astros look like a good pick (Even) tonight according to Dunkel, which has Houston favored straight up by 2. Dunkel Pick: Houston (Even). Here are all of today's games.
