Pitching matchup favors a low scoring game! Jesus Luzardo (4-4, 4.38 ERA) has been dominant lately (1.00 ERA in his last three starts) and owns the Dodgers lineup historically (.168 AVG / .558 OPS in 107+ AB).

Joey Cantillo comes in at 4-1 with a sparkling 3.05 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 56 innings. He’s won three...
