Why the Dodgers on Sunday at -135...the boys in blue come in after winning their last three and five out of seven where they have posted a .252 BA on 13 HRs. Dodgers will hand the ball to Cy Young candidate Ross Stripling who posted a 3.24 era over his L16 IP on 16 H, 18 Ks and 1 BB. Most of that damage came in Stripling's LS vs. the Phillies on the road where he allowed 3 HRs, but did post a 6 K/BB ratio. This is a trustworthy spot to back Stripling on the road, where he carries a 2.55 era, against a Braves lineup with a combined 43 ABs to match a .186 BA/.239 OBP and 2 HRs. Stripling with a day time record of 3-1 to match a 2.61 era over 41 IP on 5 HRs. The Bravos come into Sweep Sunday after losing their last four and five out of seven. Sean Newcomb will take the ball for the Bravos who brings a 5.28 era over his L15 IP on 10 Ks, 11 BBs and 3 HRs. Going to fade Newcomb in this one with a BOB Score of 52, to match the inconsistent saber numbers in the second half. Dodgers with a combined 55 ABs vs. Newcomb to match a .236 BA/.382 OBP and 4 HRs coming from four different players. Newcomb has been a different pitcher during the day where he brings a 2-3 record with a 4.79 era over 47 IP on 7 HRs. Dodgers stay hot on Sunday against the lefty...
