Pirates at Dodgers tonight at Dodger Stadium, and the gap on paper is stark: LA sitting at 77-51 and chasing the division while Pittsburgh limps in at 63-66 with nothing much to play for. Vegas has the Dodgers as heavy favorites at -224, with the total set at 8, so expect the heart of that LA order to get into a fatigued Pirates starter early.

Pittsburgh's bullpen has been shaky all year, and if their starter doesn't go at least six, this one could get away from them fast. Bold prediction: Dodgers cruise, someone in that lineup leaves the yard, and it's a laugher by the seventh inning stretch.
