Pick of the Day August 30: Philadelphia (73-57) at LA Dodgers (67-64)

Pick: Philadelphia -140
Why?
2 Words... Roy Halladay. Since coming to the NL and even before Roy was a workhorse. This season he is averaging almost 8 innings per start. These teams only faced off 3 times this year with the Phillies winning twice. Sure the Phillies aren't as dominant on the road as they are at home however pitching for them is Roy Halladay. Giving a -140 line to the Phillies is an insult to Halladay. Take advantage of the value today.

The Dodgers are coming off a horrible series to Colorado. The Dodgers will have a limited bullpen for tonight's game due to their horrendous performance yesterday. So they need Kiroki Kuroda to pitch a stellar game against a Phillies team that eats right handed pitching. The last time Kuroda pitched against the Phillies he went 1.1 innings allowing 6 earned runs.

Record: [11-4]
