The Friars remain in the City of Angels Sunday night for MLB’s featured Game of the Week on ESPN as they face the LA Dodgers in the third and final game of their weekend series. The series is tied after LA took Game Two last night winning 5 to 2 and this after the Friars took Game One on Friday winning 8 to 7. The Friars will send Yu Darvish to the bump with his 0-1 SU record and his ERA of 3.86 on the season. Yu Darvish has already faced the Dodgers earlier this season in Seoul and Darvish tossed 3.2 innings of scoreless ball in that start but the Friars lost 5 to 2. The Dodgers will counter with James Paxton who is 2-0 SU with an ERA of just 1.64 on the young season. When Darvish has faced the Dodgers, he and the Friars have allowed three or fewer runs in twelve of fourteen starts. When Paxton has faced the Padres, he and the Dodgers have allowed 1 or fewer runs in three of his four starts. Both teams bullpens have not been consistent this season and they could be a factor in this contest. Even though that is a possibility we expect this one to come in under the oddsmakers number tonight. Our TPR Index projects a run total of 4.49 runs. The Teams MM Ratings have San Diego Padres with a projected run total of -2.17 below their season average. The LA Dodgers have a projected run total of -2.29 below their season to date average. The SIM Matrix has the UNDER with a 73.96 percent advantage versus the oddsmakers total in tonight’s contest. Play UNDER with MLB home -140 or more favorites when they scored five or fewer runs for their starter in his last start and it is before the All-Star break, 9-17-1 UNDER (34%). Play UNDER with MLB home favorites whose starter went four or more innings and allowed fewer than five runs with a WHIP of at least 0.40 in his last start, 30-41-3 UNDER (42%). We will play this one to come up well short of the oddsmakers total on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
