8 OUT OF 10 CONSENSUS on the Dodgers.

After seven straight victories, we're expecting the wheels to come off the bus for the Pirates here finally on Tuesday night. After going 13-4 over a 17-day stretch, Pittsburgh had a day off yesterday, and we expect that layoff to throw a small monkey-wrench into the chemistry. Note that LA has won three of its last four. Note that during their run, this will be the Pirates first series against a team with a winning record. Sndergaard is 0-3 with a 4.92 ERA for the Dodgers, while Oviedo is 2-1 with 2.22 ERA for the Bucs. Syndergaard is coming off a hard-luck loss vs. his former team the Mets, going six innings and giving up two runs. He's 2-2 with a 2.73 ERA in five career starts vs. the Pirates. He also has a 19:4 K:W ratio already. After posting a 0.92 ERA over his last three starts, look for Oviedo to come crashing back down to Earth here. Lay the short price, the play is the DODGERS.

Good luck, TIR
