Bet Tonight’s Dodgers vs. Rays Game
Kazmir pitched six innings of two-run ball in a loss to the Marlins last Wednesday. He struck out six and walked just one in a 113-pitch effort. All seven of the hits that he allowed were singles, which is a positive sign for the 32-year-old. The hand/wrist issues that he dealt with before that start clearly didn’t limit him.

As for Moore, he struck out nine and only allowed three runs over seven innings of work last Wednesday against the Orioles, although his effort fell short of his team getting a win. He now has a 35-to-7 strikeout-to-walk ratio and owns a 3.66 ERA. The 26-year-old is off to a solid start to the 2016 season.
OUR PICK: The Dodgers are now just 1-6 in their last seven games and are 0-4 in Kazmir’s last fours tarts. They’ve also dropped six of their last eight interleague games, are 1-5 in their last six games following a day off, and are 1-6 in their last seven contests versus an opponent with a losing record. On the other side, the Rays are 5-1 in Moore’s last five home starts, 6-2 in his last eight starts overall, and are 20-7 in his last 27 outings following a quality start in his last appearance.
