MLB Betting Trends

Milwaukee

The under is 13-3-1 in Anderson's last 17 road starts. Milwaukee is 8-3 in Anderson's last 11 Wednesday starts.

Los Angeles

The under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. The over is 1-0 in Hill's last 13 starts overall.

Prediction: 

Hill has been awesome as of late and appears to have his injury concerns behind him from now. While Milwaukee has been red-hot, it has a high strikeout rate and is playing in a pitcher's park. Los Angeles' offense is due to bust out and Anderson is not exactly unhittable. Place your bet on a Dodgers victory here.
