The Dodgers are absolutely running away with the NL West, as they have a double-digit Game lead on the Giants and Diamondbacks.

The Dodgers offense has scored 690 runs with a .251 batting average and a .336 on base percentage. Mookie Betts is batting .300 with 34 home runs and 86 RBI’s for the Dodgers.

Guardians Preview

The Cleveland Guardians are 60-66 this season and they have lost four of their last six Games.

Matchup/League Facts

The Los Angeles Dodgers ranks 2nd in the league for home runs this season (195).

The Los Angeles Dodgers ranks 2nd in the league for walks this season (503).

The Cleveland Guardians ranks 1st in the league for strikeouts against this season (876).

The Cleveland Guardians ranks 2nd in the league for home runs allowed this season (129).

Pick

These two teams are basically playing a double header today and Cleveland could really use two big wins here. Los Angeles has lost two of their last four Games, but the Cleveland offense is nothing to be worried about. LA is starting Ryan Pepiot, who has only made one start for the Dodgers this year. Cleveland is starting Gavin Williams, who has allowed six earned runs in his last five starts (26 IP). Williams ran into some issues against the Tigers last time out, which doesn’t give me a ton of confidence against one of the best lineups in baseball. Take the Dodgers here.

"I don't want to say their names because I don't want to expose them," Laghrari told Ouest France . "Since December 21, we have spoken with around 50 different clubs. About 20 of them are very, very motiva...

January transfer window: Cut price signings Premier League clubs should make

Image
In a transfer market where holding midfielders are now going for over £100m, it can be quite difficult to find a bargain. The days when you could get a Andrea Pirlo for free, a Nemanja Vidic for £7m, or an Andy Robertson for £8m are seemingly long gone, but with a little due diligence clubs can still find the odd shrewd transfer move. And luckily for Premier League clubs, we've done that due diligence for them. Here's seven cut price signings that Premier League should consider during the January transfer window. 1. Paulo Dybala A top player when fit / Silvia Lore/GettyImages Suitable clubs : Manchester United, Arsenal , Chelsea Potential fee: £10.3m A release clause inserted into Paulo Dybala's contract means that your club could acquire one of the best left feet in the Game for just £10.3m. The issue? Said left foot is attached to a player who is egregiously injury prone - missing 28 Game s in the last 18 months due to eight separate ailments. When sporadically fit thoug...
