It is crunch time in the MLB as a number of teams in both the AL and NL try and keep their postseason dreams alive by stringing together enough wins to secure a spot over the last few weeks of the regular season. <\/p>\n
Looking ahead to this Thursday\u2019s slate of games, we dug deep into the pertinent stats and betting trends for all the probable pitching matchups and were able to uncover a golden opportunity for the following two-team parlay.<\/p>\n
Game 1: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Washington Nationals<\/strong> The Dodgers will wrap-up this four-game series with Chris Capuano on the mound. He has given-up a combined seven earned runs on 15 hits in his last three starts but did not get the decision in any of those games. The left-hander is 11-10 overall this season with an ERA of 3.60 in 30 starts. Capuano is 3-3 against the Nationals with a 3.72 ERA.<\/p>\n Washington is slated to send Ross Detwiler to the mound for Thursday night. This left-hander is 9-6 on the year with a 3.16 ERA.<\/p>\n He held Atlanta to just one earned run on seven hits last Friday but still could not secure the win. Detwiler is 0-1 against the Dodgers with a 3.77 ERA.<\/p>\n Los Angeles is 9-2 in its last 11 road games against a left-handed starter but the Nationals are 10-4 in Detwiler\u2019s last 14 starts.<\/p>\n The Dodgers came into this series with five straight victories over Washington and get out of this series with another win on Thursday night.[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]<\/p>\n Game 2: Texas Rangers vs. Los Angeles Angels<\/strong> The Rangers will go with Yu Darvish as their starter in Thursday night\u2019s series finale. The rookie has regained his form down the stretch with a 4-1 record and 2.32 ERA in his last six starts. Overall, the right-hander is 15-9 on the year with a 4.02 ERA. His record against the Angels this season is 2-1 with a 5.32 ERA.<\/p>\n Los Angeles will counter with Zack Greinke to try and knock off the AL West leaders one more time after Tuesday\u2019s 11-3 romp as a 132 home favorite.<\/p>\n He has also been red-hot in his last few outings with a 4-0 record in five starts while boasting an ERA of just1.70. The right-hander is 3-5 against the Rangers with a 2.81 ERA.<\/p>\n Texas is 2-7 in its last nine road game against a team with a winning record and the Angels are 19-7 in their last 26 games overall. This game sets up as a pitcher\u2019s duel with both Darvish and Greinke in excellent form.<\/p>\n Stick with the hometown team to squeeze-out a win to complete the LA sweep and lock-up the back-end of this parlay.<\/p>\n MLB Betting Previews- Thursday, Sept. 20 Parlay It is crunch time in the MLB as a number of teams in both the AL and NL try and keep their postseason dreams alive by stringing together enough wins to secure a spot over the last few weeks of the regular season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":64,"featured_media":39699,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[670],"tags":[3261,56474,56475,66497,688,52413,56476],"class_list":["post-55096","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb-baseball","tag-baseball-odds","tag-dodgers-vs-nationals","tag-los-angeles-dodgers-vs-washington-nationals","tag-mlb","tag-mlb-picks","tag-rangers-vs-angels","tag-texas-rangers-vs-los-angeles-angels"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55096","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/64"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55096"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":55441,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55096\/revisions\/55441"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39699"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
