Analysis
#927 ASA TOP PLAY ON Los Angeles Dodgers Run Line -1.5 (-130) over Houston Astros, Tuesday at 8:10 PM ET - The Dodgers won yesterday's game 8-3 and this should be another road rout.  We will get involved today utilizing the run line as LA is a massive (-230) favorite on the money line here.  No hesitation for us in laying the 1.5 runs (-130 price) on the run line as all 10 of the Dodgers road wins this season have been by a multi-run margin.  The Astros bullpen has a 6.22 ERA and a 4-11 record and that lofty ERA ranks Houston dead last in the majors.  The Dodgers rank 11th in the majors with a much more respectable 3.72 ERA for their bullpen this season.  In terms of starting pitching Tuesday, LA rates a huge edge with Ohtani over Lambert.  The Dodgers Ohtani has a 0.60 ERA in his 5 starts this season as he has been fantastic again this year and gone 6 innings in all 5 starts.  The Astros Lambert, on the other hand, is 9-21 with a 6.12 ERA in his career.  He has decent numbers overall in limited action (3 starts) this season but he is off an outing in which he could not make it out of the 5th inning and had as many walks as strikeouts.  Also, Lambert got hit hard in his lone home start this season.  Couple that with a weak Astros bullpen behind him and this one should get ugly.  Houston is on a long-term 8-19 run and the Dodgers are now off B2B wins and have one of the best records in the majors this season.  The Astros are a solid hitting team but LA is an even better hitting team on the season and when you couple that with the large pitching edges here, including the bullpen, there are key factors here in favor of the Dodgers.  We are going with the run line option here as we can get involved for a moderate, yet very fair, price if we lay the 1.5 runs with the Dodgers in this one. 17 of the 22 Los Angeles wins this season have been by 2+ runs.  Also, 20 of the Astros 22 losses this season have been by 2+ runs. Another blowout on the road, similar to yesterday's 8-3 thrashing, is likely here and we are laying 1.5 runs with the run line in this one!
