MLB Parlay Piece for August 29, 2023
- Arizona Diamondbacks Moneyline
- Clayton Kershaw u5.5 Strikeouts
- Under 7.5
Arizona Diamondbacks Moneyline (+158)
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of a brutal part of their schedule but have miraculously powered through fatigue thus far. However, every player who wears a Dodgers uniform is a human being at the end of the day. Eventually, last week’s weather-induced chaos in Cleveland will catch up to this group. Yesterday, the Dodgers took care of business in a 7-4 victory in the series opener, creating a prime letdown spot for the offense on Tuesday night against a respectable opposing pitcher. At significant plus-money, this is a worthwhile risk.
Clayton Kershaw u5.5 Strikeouts (-134)
Since the beginning of August, only the Milwaukee Brewers have a lower strikeout rate against left-handed pitching than the Arizona Diamondbacks. In that span, only Blake Snell has struck out more than six batters against the Diamondbacks. Clayton Kershaw has still not thrown more than 71 pitches since coming off of the injured list. He is unlikely to be far north of 80 pitches. The under is a strong look here.
Under 7.5 (-102)
If the Arizona Diamondbacks are going to win this game, it is unlikely to be high-scoring. Though the Diamondbacks have done a good job avoiding strikeouts against southpaws this month, they have not done much in terms of run production. Entering play this evening, they rank 20th in OPS and 22nd in ISO against left-handed pitching this month. This is likely a correlated outcome to the Diamondbacks winning.
