When a team is involved in a fight for a playoff spot, they need to be able to find a way to get out of their comfort zone and pick up wins coming down the stretch. That was what was being asked of the Los Angeles Dodgers by their MLB betting fans as they embarked on a 10-game road trip that could essentially win them the division. That trip ends in Arizona this weekend, with the first of 3 games against the Diamondbacks to be played on Friday.

If you have watched the LA Dodgers (80-59) play at home this season, you will have seen a team that looks like a legitimate World Series contender. If, on the other hand all you saw were their road games, you would be excused for thinking that this was a mediocre team going nowhere. The Dodgers have been pretty awful on the road this season, which was why there was some genuine concern coming into this long trip. You have to give this team credit, as they have dug deep to go 5-2 through the first 7 games, and they may even have knocked the LA Angels out of the Wild Card race in the process.
