Baseball wagering handicappers are beginning to sound the alarm bells with the Los Angeles Dodgers as they lost their first 6 competitions with the baseball odds after the break.



Baseball wagering anticipations were high for LA as the year’s 2nd half started and they were among the favorites with the baseball odds at the online sportsbook to make the playoffs.

The Dodgers’ issues were both on offense and with pitching since they were routed at St Louis and then lost 2 straight competitions at home versus their hated division foe, the Giants. The losing streak has fueled speculation that manager Joe Torre could retire come year’s end.

The losing streak induced the Los Angeles Dodgers to drop to fourth place in the NL West Division behind unexpected San Diego, surging San Francisco, and Colorado.

In spite of the drop, the Los Angeles Dodgers still have one of the better lineups in the key leagues as they ranked 8th in total for run production. Since they ranked 25th in the major leagues for home runs, LA does lack power, however.

Because it slipped to 18th in total for staff earned run average and has been lacking in good starts, the pitching staff has been cause for major concerns.

The series with the San Francisco Giants was the turning point for the Los Angeles Dodgers and their worries as the 2 long-term foes threw brushback pitches at one another leading to ejections and angry words.

According to San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy, “Tempers were flaring there a bit. It was a throwback to old Dodgers-Giants games.” The Dodgers blew a golden opportunity in their 2nd match versus the San Francisco Giants after they jumped out to a 5-1 lead versus San Francisco ace Tim Lincecum only to blow it in a tough 7-5 baseball wagering loss.

Dodger hitting coach Don Mattingly, who is broadly thought to be the heir apparent to Torre, was involved in one of the most strange incidents you would ever see in MLB wagering.

In that 9th inning with the Los Angeles Dodgers holding a lead he went to the mound to discuss tactic and as he was leaving first baseman James Loney asked him how deep he should play. Bochy effectively argued that when Mattingly turned around and walked back to the mound, it was a 2nd trip to the mound, forcing closer Jonathan Broxton from the match.

The Giants completed the comeback which was embarrassing for anyone wearing Dodger blue.
