MIKE'S 10* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY
(MLB) LA Dodgers vs. Pittsburgh,
Money Line: -118.00 LA Dodgers (Away)
Result: Win
The Pirates are 16-7 on the season while the Dodgers are "only" 12-11, but are the Pirates a better baseball team than the Dodgers? I don't think anyone would argue yes ...

The Dodgers are 0-4 in Noah Syndergaard's first four starts for the team despite Syndergaard (0-3, 4.91 ERA) allowing only two runs in each of his last two starts. Syndergaard is 2-2 with an ERA of 2.73 and 29 strikeouts over 33 innings in five starts versus the Pirates in his career and I think the Dodgers will do their absolute best to get him a W here.

Pittsburgh righty Johan Ovideo (2-1, 2.22 ERA) is off to a great start to the year, but now he'll face a Dodgers team whose bats are heating up and they are averaging 5.89 runs per nine innings against right-handers.
