Free NFL Pick
The Dodgers have lost four straight on the road to drop their record to 25-32 away from Dodger Stadium. They send out Alex Wood who they acquired before the trade deadline to shore up their starting rotation, but he has underperformed so far. He’s 1-1 with a no decision in his three starts in a Los Angeles uniform with the Dodgers taking the loss in both of his road starts where he went a combined 11 1/3 innings allowing 7 earned runs on 13 hits and five walks. Oakland starter Jesse Chavez has only one Q start in his last five games, but has faced some good offenses over that stretch with three of the games on the road. His W/L record may not show it but he’s been pretty solid at home bringing a 2.92 ERA in 10 starts to the mound today.
