Dodgers hope to reverse fortunes against NL East
Baseball Betting Lines
07/06/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Dodgers haven't enjoyed much success
against NL East foes this season and will try again tonight in the
continuation of a three-game home series versus the Florida Marlins.
The Dodgers lost, 6-5, in last night's series opener to fall to 4-10 against
teams from the National League East Division this season. Rafael Furcal hit a
two-run homer and both James Loney and Russell Martin drove in a run for Los
Angeles, which had a modest two-game winning streak stopped and fell four
games behind NL West-leading San Diego in the division standings.
Los Angeles, which entered the game with five wins in six tries, received
another rough outing by rookie starter John Ely. Ely's ledger dipped to 4-6
this season after he surrendered six runs -- five earned -- and nine hits over
2 2/3 innings of work.
"John didn't locate his curveball. It was only going about 55 feet. He wasn't
able to attack the strike zone," said Dodgers manager Joe Torre.
Torre will have veteran hurler Vicente Padilla on the mound Tuesday and he's
2-2 with a 5.05 earned run average in seven starts this season. Padilla won
his last outing on Wednesday in an 8-2 victory at San Francisco, as he tossed
seven innings of one-run ball and struck out five batters.
Padilla squared off with Florida in a 7-6 road loss on April 10 this season
and did not record a decision. He was reached for four runs and eight hits in
4 1/3 innings with six K's, and is 4-5 in 18 career meetings (12 starts) with
the Marlins.
Florida has won back-to-back games since losing three straight and seven of
nine, and recorded all of its runs last night by the third inning. All-Star
snub Dan Uggla registered three hits and Wes Helms knocked in a pair of runs
for the Marlins, who pulled within 8 1/2 games of first-place Atlanta in the
division standings. Uggla owns two homers and eight RBI in his last six games.
Nate Robertson was able to even his 2010 mark to 6-6 despite giving up four
runs -- three earned -- and seven hits in six innings. Jose Veras pitched a
perfect seventh inning, Clay Hensley allowed a run in the eighth and Leo Nunez
notched his 18th save with a scoreless ninth inning.
"It was a good win. I work quick and I had good defense behind me. I used
everything because those guys can hit. When you win it is a good night," said
Robertson.
The Marlins, who are 2-2 on a 10-game road trip and will also visit Arizona
for four games, will send Chris Volstad to the mound Tuesday for his 17th
start of the season. Volstad has struggled in his last 10 appearances, going
1-5 with a 4.69 ERA. Florida is 1-9 over that stretch.
Volstad last pitched in Wednesday's 6-5 loss versus the New York Mets, but did
not figure into the decision despite giving up four runs -- three earned --
and six hits in five innings. He lost to the Dodgers back on April 9 this
season, as he permitted three runs (2 earned) in 6 1/3 innings of a 7-3
setback at Sun Life Stadium.
The right-hander is 2-2 with a 3.76 ERA in four career starts against the
Dodgers.
Florida won two of three meetings with Los Angeles the last time these two
teams got together from April 9-11 this season.
