I like this play for a lot of the same reasons I like the Over in this game. The Dodgers needed their bullpen to cover 8 innings last night, and tonight's starter Julio Urias has averaged fewer than 5 innings in his starts this season. I think Madison Bumgarner does just enough to keep his team ahead.
I thought this total was off the moment I saw it. Rich Hill had to leave last night's game after only an inning, meaning the Dodgers bullpen had to cover eight innings. Tonight Julio Urias will start, and he's averaging fewer than 5 innings in his start this season, so there's a good chance a taxed bullpen will have to cover a lot of tonight's innings as well. Throw in Dana DeMuth behind the plate, who is quite friendly to hitters, and I expect this to be a higher-scoring affair.
