Beaty breaks tie with homer

Matt Beaty hit a tie-breaking pinch-hit 3-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning Saturday night at home to help send Los Angeles to a 10-6 home win over Miami after the Dodgers had previously blown a six-run lead. Justin Turner finished 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks. Joc Pederson was also 1-for-3 with a solo homer. Pedro Baez picked up the win in relief as he retired both batters he faced.

MLB Betting Trends

Miami

The Marlins are 23-54 in their last 77 road games. Miami is 1-5 in its last six Sunday games. 

Los Angeles

The Dodgers are 39-12 in their last 51 home games. Los Angeles is 7-2 in the last nine Buehler starts.

Prediction:

Yamamoto has had a great start to his MLB career, but he isn't likely to get much run support today and he faces a dynamic offense. This game screams LA, although it will be interesting to see how Yamamoto performs in such a difficult setting.
