You can get the Dodgers at -180 at BetOnline compared to -190 elsewhere.
Albert Pujols has given Clayton Kershaw fits and should be considered for your fantasy roster Tuesday. He’s gone 10 of 26 at bats against Kershaw.
The Dodgers Monday at -180 and Tuesday at Whatever the Price if You Can Afford it Are Good Bets for This Series
