MLB Wagering – Dodgers Fall to 4th Place

Baseball wagering oddsmakers are starting to sound the alarm bells with the Los Angeles Dodgers as they lost their first six matches with the baseball odds after the break.



The Los Angeles Dodgers were on the list of faves with the baseball odds at the online sportsbook to make the playoffs, and baseball wagering expectations were high for LA as the year’s 2nd half started.

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ issues were equally on offense and with pitching as they were crushed at St Louis and then lost two consecutive matches at home against their hated division foe, the San Francisco Giants. The losing streak has fed conjecture that manager Joe Torre could retire come year’s end.

The losing streak induced the Los Angeles Dodgers to drop to 4th place in the NL West Division behind surprising San Diego, surging San Francisco, and Colorado.

The Dodgers still have 1 of the better lineups in the major leagues in spite of the drop as they rated 8th in total for run production. Since they rated 25th in the huge leagues for home runs, LA does lack ability, however.

Because it slipped to 18th in total for staff earned run average and has been lacking in quality starts, the pitching staff has been cause for major worries.

The series with the San Francisco Giants was the turning point for the Los Angeles Dodgers and their concerns as the two long time enemies threw brushback pitches at one another leading to ejections and heated words.

According to San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy, “Tempers were flaring there a bit. It was a throwback to old Dodgers-Giants games.” After they jumped out to a 5-1 lead against San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum only to blow it in a tough 7-5 baseball wagering loss, the Los Angeles Dodgers blew a golden opportunity in their 2nd game against the San Francisco Giants.

Dodger hitting coach Don Mattingly, who is extensively considered to be the obvious successor to Torre, was involved in 1 of the most weird happenings you would ever see in MLB gambling.

He went to the mound to discuss approach in that ninth inning with the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a lead and as he was leaving first baseman James Loney asked him how deep he ought to play. Mattingly turned around and went back to the mound, which Bochy successfully argued was a 2nd trip to the mound, kicking closer Jonathan Broxton from the game.

The Giants completed the comeback which was shameful for everyone wearing Dodger blue.
