Tigers vs Dodgers MLB 2010 Odds – May 23, 2010: Tinsel Town hasn’t exactly been a fun place to visit for the (24-19) Detroit Tigers [+145 ML], as they will try to avoid being swept by the sports betting odds favorite (25-18) Los Angeles Dodgers [-170 ML] in today’s finale. Game 3 of this series is scheduled to get underway this afternoon at 4:10 PM ET (1:10 PM PT) from Dodger Stadium and it’ll be broadcasted live on FS-D and PRIME.
The pitching matchup for this series clincher will consist of Detroit’s RHP Rick Porcello (3-4, 5.93 ERA) against L.A.’s RHP Hiroki Kuroda (5-1, 2.87 ERA). This will be the first time that either starter would face one another’s 
team in their MLB careers. According to MLB 2010 Odds makers at SPORTSBETTING.com, the OVER/UNDER for the finale between the Tigers and Dodgers is set at a combined total of 8 runs scored.
The Tigers started this series tied with the Minnesota Twins for the top spot in the American League Central Division. However, back-to-back loses in Southern Cal and a 2-game win streak by the Twins have put the Tigers in second place and two games behind Minnesota for the division lead.
For the Dodgers, this team appears to have turned the corner after a very slow start. Winners of three in a row and 9-1 in its last 10 games played, Los Angeles has surged to the top of the National League West. At the present time, the Dodgers and the San Diego Padres sit atop the division with exact, 25-18 records.
“We're trying to win each game, that's the most important thing. It'd be a great way to go on this [upcoming] road trip,” said Dodgers manager Joe Torre. “This ballclub that came in here, they're a first-place team when they came in here. Every time when you go out there and play, especially when you're playing the other league, you sort of measure yourself, see if you can handle the challenge.
“But again, that's how you sort of compare, and you win two games against this ballclub, it does a lot for your confidence. You go out there and win it with a youngster [John Ely] like we did, that's important.”
