Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Washington Nationals (7:05 PM ET)

Line: Los Angeles Dodgers (+108) at Washington Nationals (-118); total: 8.5 – view all MLB lines

Los Angeles’ losing woes show no sign of abating as the Dodgers suffered a 6-5 defeat to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday. It was another disappointing setback for the Dodgers who have now lost each of their last two games. With the loss, the Dodgers dropped to 52-42 in the NL West standings.

Pitching has been the main problem for the Dodgers of late, with LA allowing a whopping 15 runs during their last three road games. The onus then is on Scott Kazmir (7-3, 4.52 ERA) to deliver a solid start for the Dodgers tonight. The lefty struggled mightily in his last outing against the San Diego Padres, surrendering three runs on six hits and three walks in just three innings of action.

The Nationals on the other hand, will counter with Reynaldo Lopez, who will be making his Major League debut tonight. Lopez, the Nats’ No. 5 prospect, has racked up 109 strikeouts in 87.1 innings with a 3.19 ERA in 16 starts between Double-A and Triple-A this season.

The Dodgers are 6-4 in their last 10 road games against the Nationals.

Writer’s Prediction

Los Angeles (+108) wins, 4-3.

San Francisco Giants vs. Boston Red Sox (7:10 PM ET)

Line: San Francisco Giants (+145) at Boston Red Sox (-160); total: 10.0 – view all MLB lines

Things are going from bad to worse for the San Francisco Giants as they dropped their third consecutive game Sunday with a gut-wrenching 5-3 loss to the San Diego Padres. The Giants will look to get their season back on track when they take on the Boston Red Sox in their series opener tonight.

Pitching for San Francisco this evening is Jake Peavy (5-7, 5.09 ERA). The right-hander allowed two runs on seven hits, struck out three and walked one over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against Arizona on July 9. Boston, on the other hand, will have Rick Porcello (11-2, 3.66 ERA) as its starting pitcher tonight. The sinkerballer is 8-0 with a 3.32 ERA in nine starts at Fenway Park this season.

The Red Sox are 3-0 in their last three home games against the Giants.

Writer’s Prediction

Boston (-160) wins, 7-3.
