MLB Odds: Tigers vs Dodgers MLB Picks – May 22nd, 2010: The red hot Dodgers will look to win their first interleague series of the season tonight as they take on Detroit in game two of their three game set at Dodger Stadium. Game time is scheduled for 7:10pm ET. MLB Picks at SBGglobal.com have Los Angeles listed as a -138 moneyline favorite and the game total set at 8 with the Under drawing -115 odds.
Los Angeles moved into a first place with the Padres in the National League West last night by scoring a 4-1 win against the
Tigers. The Dodgers record now stands at 24-18 due to their 13-2 mark over the last 15 games. Opponents have averaged just three runs per game against Joe Torre's squad in that span.
Last night the Tigers experienced the same woes as many recent Dodger victims as they managed four hits and one earned run off of starter Chad Billingsley and no hits against the Los Angeles bullpen. The Dodgers offense had little success against Detroit's relief staff, but they did tag starter Dontrelle Willis for six hits and four earned runs over 5.1 innings.
Getting the start for Los Angeles this evening is 24 year old righty John Ely. Ely has a 2-1 record and 3.51 ERA in four starts this season and he has also struck out 25 batters in 25.2 innings pitched. Opponents are hitting just .219 off of the Illinois native, who has help the Dodgers to a 3-0 record in his last three outings.
The Tigers, despite last night's setback, are just a game back of the first place Twins in the American League Central with a 24-18 tally.
Detroit will counter Ely with 28 year old Venezuelan Armando Galarraga. The right-handed hurler was recalled from the minors on May 16th and he is 1-0 in his only appearance this season, getting a 5-1 win against the Red Sox after allowing just three hits and one earned run over 5.2 innings pitched.
MLB Picks Betting Trend: Detroit is 1-9 straight up in its last 10 games as a road dog with a moneyline spread between 120 and 140 and a total between 7.5 and 8.
