From http://GamblersTelevision.com Best Bet Major League Baseball Game 1 Wednesday LA Dodgers (Lowe) at Chicago Cubs (Dempster)(6:30PM ET) (TBS) Derek Lowe pitched down the stretch as well as anyone down the stretch and is part of a 1 2 combo with Chad Billingsley that could take LA very far in the postseason. Lowe is a sinkerball pitcher that gets lots of ground balls. The Dodgers must simply set the table on offense for Manny Ramirez. This is where Joe Torre baseball comes into play. He is a master at getting his hitters to work opposing pitchers deep into the count and tax their arms and wear them out for damage later in the ball game. Lowe has given up 1 earned run or less in 8 of his last 9 starts when it mattered the most during the pennant race. That is simply clutch pitching at its best. The Dodgers bullpen has been outstanding all season. The Cubs are just 2-3 in Ryan Dempsters last 5 starts. Derrick Lowe is a +148 underdog in game 1? The Cubs are not very strong defensively in the outfield. Derrick Lowe has been too good to look elsewhere here getting plus money. If the game comes down the bullpens the Dodgers have the advantage. Your Best Bet for Wednesday Major League Baseball is playing the LA Dodgers +148 against the Chicago Cubs Selection: LA Dodgers +148
