Prior to the start of the current MLB season, there were a number of teams who were identified as potential favorites to win it all. While a few of those teams are living up to the hype, there are also some who are seriously floundering right now. There is still plenty of time for those teams to get things turned around, but each passing week sees the window start to close a little more. Two teams who fall into the struggling favorites category are going head to head on Sunday with the hopes that a series win might be enough to get their seasons back on track. The big-spending LA Dodgers will be heading to Pittsburgh to face a Pirates team that is seriously underperforming this season. Both teams are well off the pace in their respective divisions, which makes every game they play incredibly important. The sportsbook odds may well show that these two teams are a pretty even match, which makes this game a very good betting opportunity.
