The Los Angeles Dodgers find themselves behind the 8-ball in their National League Division Series with the Washington Nationals, but they’ll have an opportunity to bounce back in Game 4 on Tuesday.
Clayton Kershaw and Joe Ross will get the start for the Dodgers and Nationals, respectively. Kershaw, who's pitching on only three days' rest, has pitched on short rest many times in his career including last year. The ace held the New York Mets to one run on three hits in seven innings in Game of the NLDS.
OVER bettors will be eagerly anticipating this one. Los Angeles has gone OVER in six of its last eight games, and the OVER is 4-1 in the last five matchups between the clubs.
Stringing together wins has been a tall order for Washington of late. The Nationals are 0-4 SU in their last four coming off consecutive wins.
