The Giants overcame nine strikeouts by the 30-year-old to win as big underdogs for the first time in the last five road meetings.San Francisco had dropped four straight at Dodger Stadium, according to the OddsShark MLB Database http://www.indiansfanproshop.com/authentic-b.j.-upton-jersey , and now sends Andrew Suarez (4-8, 4.64 ERA) to the mound. While the southpaw has been bad lately, this will be his first career start versus Los Angeles, and that could work in his favor due to unfamiliarity. Why the Dodgers can pay on the MLB linesThree of the four losses during their current skid have been decided by one run for the Dodgers, and the other was a simple implosion by their bullpen in the ninth to the Giants, particularly reliever Scott Alexander. It is doubtful bettors will see Alexander again here, and starting pitcher Alex Wood (7-6 Josh Tomlin Jersey , 3.58 ERA) has been very good recently for Los Angeles.Even though Wood suffered a loss in his last outing, he allowed only one earned run in six innings of a 2-1 setback to the Houston Astros on August 3. The 27-year-old had gone 6-0 in his previous eight starts without surrendering more than three runs. Smart betting pickWood is coming off the 10-day disabled list in this spot after dealing with a hamstring injury, and the Dodgers are hoping he can pick up where he left off. He has gone 1-1 with a 2.29 ERA in three starts against San Francisco this year, with his opponent batting only .155 in his 19.2 innings over that period.Look for Los Angeles to bounce back behind Wood and end the team's losing streak as Suarez continues his struggles.MLB betting trendsThe total has gone under in 14 of San Francisco's last 21 games on the road.The total has gone under in four of San Francisco's last five games when playing Los Angeles.Los Angeles is 4-2 in its last six games when playing at home against San Francisco.All MLB odds and betting trends according to Bleacher Report's official odds partner, OddsShark.

The story was first reported by Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free Press and confirmed by the network on Tuesday. The long-awaited announcement ended an offseason of rumors and speculation as to who would replace Mario Impemba in the broadcast booth.Shepard served as the network’s primary play-by-play man late in 2018 after Impemba and Rod Allen were suspended following an altercation in early September. Fox Sports Detroit announced shortly after the season that neither Impemba nor Allen would return in 2019. While the network cast a wide net in their search for their next play-by-play broadcaster — Fenech reported that over 100 people applied for the job — Shepard’s experience with the team and the network won out.Butch Dill-USA TODAY SportsWelcome to Bless You Boys!Feel free to write up a FanPost (here is a good guide to get you started).Follow us on Twitter and Like us on Facebook.Check out our most recent article: Wilkel Hernandez might be a trade steal for the TigersThis experience is why Shepard was considered one of the early favorites to land the job. He has been broadcasting in the Detroit area since the early 90s, and has appeared on Tigers Carlos Carrasco Jersey , Pistons, and Red Wings broadcasts for several years in a number of different roles. Shepard has also served as the radio play-by-play broadcaster of Michigan basketball and Eastern Michigan football. Joining Shepard in the booth will be former Tigers Kirk Gibson and Jack Morris. The two will split duties as analysts, with Fenech speculating that Gibson’s workload will remain consistent with what he has done in previous seasons. Morris also serves as a color broadcaster for Fox Sports North (Minnesota), so his role and split between the two regional sports networks (RSNs) remains unclear.Former Tiger Dan Petry will also have a larger role on Fox Sports Detroit gameday broadcasts, though he will only serve as a studio host for now. He has previously filled in on radio broadcasts alongside current play-by-play man Dan Dickerson. Petry will join Craig Monroe on Tigers Live before and after games.
