Still irked at the Dodgers for wrecking Tuesday's parlay, but they sure don't lose B2B games at home often. The Seattle bullpen is pretty taxed at the end now. Starter Emerson Hancock (6-4, 3.16 ERA) has been terrific but had never been this good before and trade rumors are swirling, so ideally he's not focused. LA acquired lefty Eric Lauer from Toronto early this season and Lauer has gone 4-0 with a 3.35 ERA with the Dodgers -- they are 8-0 as a team when he throws a pitch as a starter or reliever. This ML is on the way up with heavy Dodgers money so why taking it now.
I'll lay the juice again for the Eric Lauer Dodgers experience. Heck, I'd probably play this line up to at least -200. Since coming over to Los Angeles, the Dodgers are 8-0 when Lauer pitches for them. Not to mention that current Mariners hitters are only 7 of 41 against him (.171 average). Until this fad loses, I'll keep playing it over and over again.
