LA, San Fran go at it again by the Bay

Baseball Betting Lines

09/07/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Los Angeles Dodgers are sticking around in the playoff picture. The club will try to stay on the winning track and in the hunt tonight when they open a three-game set with the San Francisco Giants at AT&T Park.

The Dodgers have won four of their last five games, including a dramatic 7-4 victory on Thursday over the Cubs. The Dodgers plated four runs in the top of the ninth inning with Andre Ethier smacking a three-run, pinch-hit homer. The club also plated a run on a wild pitch in the frame.

Takashi Saito retired the Cubs in order in the home half of the ninth for his 37th save of the year. Joe Beimel (4-1) earned the win, throwing 1 2/3 innings of shutout ball after starter Derek Lowe went six-plus innings. Lowe allowed three runs on five hits with five walks and five strikeouts.

James Loney and Matt Kemp also homered for the Dodgers, who are within 3 1/2 games of National League West-leading Arizona. LA is also 2 1/2 games back of San Diego in the wild card picture.

Chad Billingsley has won his last three starts and will toe the rubber for the Dodgers tonight. He bested the Padres on Sunday behind seven shutout innings, allowing just four hits with nine strikeouts to improve to 10-4 with a 3.30 earned run average this year.

Billingsley has two road wins during his streak and is 11-4 in his career away from Dodger Stadium.

The right-hander is 2-0 with a 4.40 ERA in four career games (two starts) against the Giants. He bested the club with six scoreless innings on July 13.

The Giants, meanwhile, halted a four-game losing streak on Wednesday, as Barry Bonds hit the 762nd home run of his career to lift his club over the Rockies, 5-3. Pedro Feliz had three hits -- including a home run and a triple -- and Bengie Molina also added a solo shot in the win.

Kevin Correia (4-6) allowed just one run and four hits, did not walk a batter and fanned four over six innings.

Jonathan Sanchez will make his second start of the season for the Giants. After 29 relief outings, Sanchez started on Saturday against Washington and allowed three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings of a loss, falling to 1-3 with a 5.27 ERA this year.

The left-hander has faced the Dodgers three times out of the bullpen in his career and has allowed one run over 2 2/3 total innings.

Sanchez will also attempt to halt the Giants' 11-game home losing streak to the Dodgers. LA is 6-0 against San Francisco at AT&T Park this year and hasn't lost to the club on the road since August 18 of last season.

The Dodgers are 20-11 versus the Giants over the last two seasons.
