Dodgers Game Today: Dodgers vs Pirates Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, Pitcher, TV for Aug. 17

The Los Angeles Dodgers and Pittsburgh Pirates battled in a surprisingly hard-fought game to open their series in Hollywood on Monday night.

If the odds are to be believed, that won’t happen again on Tuesday.

A Max Muncy eighth inning home run and an Andre Jackson relief spectacle (bulk appearance) in his MLB debut carried the day on Tuesday, and Los Angeles pulled one out against a bad team in less-than-ideal circumstances.

Just look at the names who covered the middle innings. Nobody from the preseason playbook appeared, to say the least.

So, what will the Dodgers do for an encore?

The bookies predict a blowout, but even without Adam Frazier, these battlin’ Bucs don’t go down that easily.

Dodgers Pitcher Today

The Dodgers will go with David Price for this one (4-1, 3.60 ERA), though it’s still an iffy proposition when he’s asked to provide any sort of length that approaches his former level of ability.

To counter, Pittsburgh will try the scuffling Will Crowe (3-7, 5.27, 75 Ks in 80.1 innings), which somewhat explains the tilted scales we’re seeing in the odds department.

Dodgers vs Pirates Prediction Today

For as much fun as we’ve had hyping up the lopsided nature of this matchup…it certainly seems like the Dodgers will triumph again, right? Odds are (see what I did there?) their offensive doldrums won’t last for two consecutive games, especially not against a pitcher like Crowe struggling to find himself. 8-4 Dodgers in this one.
