The Los Angeles Dodgers will be looking to double up on the Pittsburgh Pirates after cruising to an emphatic 5-0 shutout win in the opener of their three-game series on Tuesday. If you’re looking for some good value at the MLB Odds for this week, this mid-week matchup is offering plenty of it. Now let’s find out where that value lies on Wednesday when the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates will be continuing their series.
Outside of that, I guess another good reason would be that the Dodgers starting pitcher could be overwhelmed or overly anxious about making his big league debut and could fall to a case of the nerves.

Why Consider the MLB Odds for the Dodgers?
Why should you consider betting on the Dodgers in this contest? Well, because they’re on fire right now, having won four straight games and seven of their last nine games overall. Not only that, but the Do9dgers have a young and red-hot hurler on the mound that the Pirates haven’t seen and that scenario always favors the pitcher – unless he gets overwhelmed. Left-hander Caleb Ferguson will make his MLB debut after going 3-0 with a 1.53 ERA in the minors this year. The Dodgers swept Colorado in their three-game set by scoring at least 10 runs in each of the three games. Joc Pederson, Yasiel Puig, and Cody Bellinger all hit home runs in L.A.’s 5-0 shutout on Tuesday night while Ross Stripling didn’t give up a run in 5.0 innings despite allowing seven harmless hits.Team Statistics

Why Consider the MLB Odds for the Pirates?
